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.

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.

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 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.

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 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…
