I'm 'bout ready for Camarillo
My head is goin' fast
I'm like some ship out on the ragin' sea
That's losin' its mainmast

Can't find my direction
My thoughts are so confused
My problem's that there is no easy way
To heal the soul that's been abused

Sought to find the diff'rence
Between ghosts and reality
But who can tell me what's my name
I mean, what is really me?

In my dreams, it seems so simple
Such an easy way to be
I'm gonna lose myself in someone else
Just to find that way to me
Find that way to me

Yeah, in my dreams, it seems so simple
Such an easy way to be
I'm gonna lose myself in someone else
Just to find that way to me
Find that way to me

Lord Just about ready
Yeah, just about ready
Can you hear me now
I'm ready I'm about ready
Huh I'm yours

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
