    Lyrics
    Oh my
    I didn't know what it means to believe
    Oh my
    I didn't know what it means to believe
    But if I hold on tight, is it true?
    Would You take care of all that I do?
    Oh Lord
    I'm getting ready to believe
    Oh my
    I didn't know how hard it would be
    Oh my
    I didn't know how hard it would be
    But if I hold on tight, is it true?
    Would You take care of all that I do?
    Oh Lord
    I'm getting ready to believe
    Then we'll be waving hands, singing freely
    Singing standing tall, it's now coming easy
    Oh, no more looking down, honey, can't you see?
    Oh Lord, I'm getting ready to believe
    Then we'll be waving hands singing freely
    Singing standing tall it's now coming easy
    Oh no more looking down, honey, can't you see?
    Oh Lord, I'm getting ready
    Oh Lord, I'm getting ready
    Oh Lord, I'm getting ready to believe

    Last year times were really tough, and I had to get a second job for a while. I listened to this song every morning on my way to work and it was the only peace that kept me sane in the hellish reality of 5am wake up calls and working 11-12 hours a day. It gave me hope. I'm so grateful for that.

    I have depression and have struggled with it all my life. This song really hits different for me,, it’s beautiful. It’s a story about finding out the sad nature of your life.. and trying to fix it. Trying to rekindle the shushed flames of a candle. It’s a story of hope. It’s a store of acknowledgement. It’s a story of redemption… it’s a story of beauty. I love this song. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Thank you, Michael.

    The first time I heard this was when I played it on student radio from one of our playlists, with no prior knowledge of Michael's work. As soon as it finished, I said nothing for a few moments in stunned enjoyment, before saying something along the lines of "That was so good, it deserves a second listen" and playing it a second time. In all of my radio presenting since, I've not done the same thing as I did then of playing a song twice, such was its quality.

    I was watching a British program, Battling Emergencies on the Front Lines and this was the ending song for Season 1-EP 101.
    I had to find this song. Turns out I had looked for it, and already saved it before.
    I’m getting the album. He’s so good! I love this song. Rarely does a song hit me like this the very first time I hear it.

  • @ZeranZeran

    I feel so lucky to have found your music when I was younger, because it has gotten me through some of the worst parts of my 20's.
    Hoping for a more stable, and optimistic 30's, and gonna try harder for it too. Ready to move on and grow. Ready to be there for my loved ones for a change. I'll still be playing your music when I'm up, or when I'm down. It always reminds me that it's gonna be okay. Thank you Mr. Kiwanuka.
    I think listening to your music on my worst nights may have have saved me from some much worse fates than what I was dealt. Because you allowed me to breathe and remember again. Thank you Michael, and Thank you BBC One from the early 2010's. Between this and Alabama Shakes, it's like they knew what I needed to hear, and it was such a nice change. Still is.

    Most people who become Christians first go through desperate times to the point where they get tired of even living. In the video, the woman is greatly going through a hardship in which through this hardship she is "getting ready" to believe in God in order to overcome this obstacle in her life.
