While the gate to the kingdom swings, shut and closes
Get ready for love, praise him
Calling all around the world
Calling all around the world
And looked up to see his face burned in the retina of your eyes
Then I was just hanging around, doing nothing
Calling every boy and girl
Get ready for love, get ready
Well, most of all nothing much ever really happens
Calling all around the world
What you're praising him for?
Praise him a little bit more
Calling all around the world
Get ready for love, praise him
And god rides high up in the ordinary sky, yeah
And browsed through the brochures that govern the skies
Yeah, praise him till you've forgotten
Calling all around the world
What you're praising him for?
Until we find ourselves at our most distracted
Calling every boy and girl
And we search high and low without mercy or malice
Then praise him a little bit more
Praise him till you've forgotten
Calling every boy and girl
Praise him till you've forgotten
The mighty wave their hankies from their high-windowed palace
Calling all around the world
Praise him till you've forgotten
Calling every boy and girl
Yeah, praise him a little bit more
Calling every boy and girl
Hey, get ready for love, yeah, praise him
I searched the seven seas and I've looked under the carpet
Calling every boy and girl
What you're praising him for?
What you're praising him for?
Get ready for love, praise him
Sending grief and joy down in supportable doses
And the miracle that was promised creeps quietly by
Get ready-ready for love, get ready
Yeah, praise him a little bit more
