The song "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" was written by Larry Norman in the 1970's, it was made popular again in the 90's by DC Talk.
Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we'd all been ready,
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
