	Story Behind the Song A Paeon to the FREEDOM of the spirit...it became a Reggae once we took it to tape...it was written before 2000, I now have amended the last verse to reflect the turning of those 3 zeros... Lyrics Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, yes Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, so Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready This time, I'm ready This time, I'm steady, as we go There's no need for an S.O.S. The ship's on a course As true as the stars do whirl Around this planet's pole I'm no longer hurtin' I'm no longer flirtin', and I know Why I was in so much distress From a rumor without source An innocent boy or girl Can tell you what's in my soul What were we doin'? Why were we cooin', like some dove Sent to signal an age of peace Only to become a generation of hawks Like none we've seen before? Hey! Were we just fakin'? Say! Were we just takin', like some love Requiring we buy, or sell, or lease Which has come to benumb our souls For a beast that stalks Every house with a locked door? Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, yes Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, so Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready This love I'm feelin' Is beyond dealin', out of hand No taxation could make me king Unless we all fed Each of those who go without In this world of plenty Yes, there's nothing to do now Except tell you through-out the land "Any nation that doesn't ring Freedom's glory bell is dead To the days ahead About to turn one hundred times twenty" "Any nation that doesn't ring Freedom's glory bell is dead NOW, SO FULL OF DREAD AS THESE DAYS turn one hundred times twenty" Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, yes Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, so Keep it steady, now, you know I'm ready, won't you Keep it steady, now, don't you know? I'm ready Keep it steady, now, don't you know? We're ready Don't you know? We're ready! Don't you know? We're ready!
