Radio static

Are you ready to cross over 
Are you ready to let go?
To face the final curtain
In the land of I Don't Know
Jesus was a wise man
And everyone's a Saint
Are you ready to cross over 
Are you ready?

You can read 
The good and bad book
And bring the bad book home
But is it fact or fiction
There's just one way to know
Buddha was dancing 
Underneath the fig oak tree
He was ready to cross over 
He was ready

So why hold on, hold on
It's good that you believe 
But it's better if you don't

So hold on, hold on
Someone's there to catch you 
When you're ready to let go

I was sitting by the Ganji
Looking for another way
But all roads lead to Heaven
No matter what, they say

Preacher was a good man
Why was he so blue?
He was ready to cross over 
He was ready

So why hold on, hold on
It's good that you believe 
But it's better if you know
So hold on, hold on
Someone's there to catch you 
When you're ready to let go

Play me to heaven

Are you ready to cross over 
Are you ready to let go?
To face the final curtain
In the land of I Don't Know

Every one can get there
Cuz we don't have a soul
Are you ready to cross over 
Are you ready??
So why hold on, hold on
It's good that you believe 
But it's better if you know
So hold on, hold on

(3x):
Someone's there to catch you 
When you're ready to let go

That's the real thing there 
Isn't it?
