I admit that I'm unprepared
Staring into the face of death
And with my hand across my chest
I swear that I'm not ready for the test
Not yet, not yet, not yet
I'm not ready yet
I fear I missed a chance
I've lived a fearful life
I said I wanted to die
I called to you at night
I cried to you, but it wasn't grief
When I was alone, when I was in need
Not yet, not yet, not yet
You'll not have me yet
I found a love, I found a home
No longer lost, no longer alone
I promise now I won't call for you
Embrace the life that I owe to you
Not yet, not yet, not yet
I'm not ready yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet
I'm not ready yet
In the final hour, all will be said and done
And all I know is that the hour will come
