The song "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" by Jordin Sparks is actually a cover of a song originally written by Larry Norman. It is a Christian song that speaks about the end of the world and the importance of being ready for it. The lyrics describe a world filled with violence and suffering, where children die and people live in poverty. The chorus of the song repeats the line "There's no time to change your mind, the sun has come and you've been left behind." This refers to the idea of the Rapture, where Christians believe that those who have accepted Jesus will be taken up to heaven, leaving those who have not behind on earth. The song encourages listeners to be prepared for this event and to make sure they are living a righteous life so that they may be saved. The verses provide various examples of people being taken away and others being left behind, emphasizing the idea that the Rapture could happen at any moment and there is no time to waste. The song ends with a plea for everyone to be ready for the end of the world, saying "I wish we'd all been ready." It is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the importance of faith and preparation for Christians.
