    This song makes me cry in its sheer beauty and her NATURAL voice. I love her outfit and its simplicity because her talent does the rest. I dont feel the popluar perfomers today can match this.

    RIP Nelson Mandela.
    Why did I mention him on this song?
    That's is/was his prison number on her guitar.
    Such a beautiful song from such a beautiful spirit.

    I love this song, India Arie is just an inspiring artist and soul.
    In another live performance she said, “This song is not bout wanting a specific person, it's not to a specific person...this song is to the energy of love to come and bless my life.”
    And I thought that that message was soo beautiful!!!
    I had to cover this song and it's up already too! Do tell me whatcha think on my take of this amazing song! I'd really appreciate it!

    I absolutely love this song. And this artist. India.Arie has been one of my favorites since the very beginning. I remember one night when I was young, I fell asleep with the TV on, and it was on the BET network. During that time, he’s so used to come one at midnight, called midnight love. Well that particular night day premiered this song on the show, and the melody literally woke me up from my sleep. My eyes were affixed to the television as the video played. I immediately fell in love with the song, and it has been my favorite song ever Since. It is also my favorite song to sing. All of the songs are written by her are the most beautiful songs in the world, and they all have a deeper meaning, which is why I am in love with her music.

    INDIA POSSESSES THE QUALITY OF GREATNESS IN HER HEART & THE PASSION SHE PUTS IN HER SONGS IS GODDLY. SHE SINGS OF FEELINGS THAT ARE REAL IN OUR HEARTS, MINDS, BODY & SOUL. HER SONGS TOUCHES DEEP DOWN TO THE CORE OF A SOUL & CARESSES IT GENTLY. SHE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE SINGER OF ALL TIMES. THROUGH HER SONGS, I'VE LEARNED TO LOVE ME, ENJOY ME & ACCEPT MY FLAWS & GIFTS FROM GOD. I'M PEACEFUL BEING ME & THAT'S A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER.

    I feel robbed because I only heard this song last year for the first time and it took me a year to find out what it was called. I went straight out and bought india's acoustic soul cd. I was shocked this beautiful song has been around for so long and here in the UK I had never of heard of her. Absolute perfection in the songs lyrics and the way India sings it.

    This is the best vocal India has given, whilst singing this particular song. She always sings the truth of the lyrics, without forcing the fact that she is an amazing singer down our throats. Many people have covered this song, but none of them are able to sing it with the purity and emotion that India does. Makes me cry every time I hear it.

    I am ready for love
    Why are you hiding from me
    I’d quickly give my freedom
    To be held in your captivity
    I am ready for love
    All of the joy and the pain
    And all the time that it takes
    Just to stay in your good grace
    Lately I’ve been thinking
    Maybe you’re not ready for me
    Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
    They say watch what you ask for
    Cause you might receive
    But if you ask me tomorrow
    I’ll say the same thing
    I am ready for love
    Would you please lend me your ear?
    I promise I won’t complain
    I just need you to acknowledge I am here
    If you give me half a chance
    I‘ll prove this to you
    I will be patience, kind, faithful and true
    To a man who loves music
    A man who loves art
    Respect’s the spirit world
    And thinks with his heart
    I am ready for love
    If you’ll take me in your hands
    I will learn what you teach
    And do the best that I can
    I am ready for love
    Here with a offering of
    My voice
    My Eyes
    My soul
    My mind
    Tell me what is enough
    To prove I am ready for love
    I am ready…
