[Verse 1] Don’t wait for the siren, don’t wait for the call You build your tomorrow while nothing’s wrong at all Bag by the doorway, always in place Ready for the moment you don’t want to face Water and copies, IDs and keys Flashlight and batteries, packed carefully Medication, charger, something warm to wear You won’t have time to think — so prepare [Pre-Chorus] Because when it comes, it comes fast No time to sort the past [Chorus] Pack it now — not later on Before the quiet time is gone Pack it now — make it routine Prepare for what you hope you’ll never see When seconds count, you won’t decide You’ll grab the bag already by your side [Verse 2] Check it each week, don’t let it fade Swap out the water, rotate what you saved Keep it simple, keep it light Everything ready for that run at night Shoes by the bed, path always clear You don’t rise slowly when danger is near Preparation feels like nothing today Until it’s everything that gets you away [Bridge] You don’t rise to the level of fear You fall to the level prepared [Final Chorus] Pack it now — don’t delay The time you need is gone that day Pack it now — make it real Preparation is how you deal
