[Andy Mineo - Death Has Died lyrics]
It was just last week that my grandma died
It's been years since I've seen
Family on my father's side
A bittersweet moment but tell me why
Nothing less than the sting of
Death brought us together
I sat and listened to the priest tell lies
To appease loved ones in they seats
When you're looking at a face that's weeping
The grim truth don't bring 'em no peace
So I put on all white gloves like Mr jackson
Carry the casket to the Cadillac then
I realize this is the first time that me
And my brothers ever did something together
Whatever, I'm grown now, come on, let's just
Put on our smiles and take pictures
We can take pictures
Eat this humble pie and leave them dishes
For somebody else to clean 'em
Until I see ya'll again
(Breaking down, breaking down)
Everything here is breaking down
(Br-br-Breaking down, breaking down)
It's all breaking down down down
(Breaking down, breaking down)
Everything here is breaking down
(Breaking down, breaking down)
But this won't be forever no
You used to make me cry
But one day he'll wipe every
Tear from our eyes
He'll come make all things right
And we'll sing death has died
But until that day
Until that day oh, until that day
Oh, oh, oh this won't be forever
Until that day oh, until that day
Oh (this won't be forever)
This won't be forever
I hopped off the plane my God
What a scene that I seen on that TV screen
People huddled round, hands on they mouth
Not again, same problem, it hit a new town
Twenty-six dead, twenty of 'em kids
Where do you begin when some lives just ended
And everybody got the question
"If God's so good, how he let this happen?"
Is it mental health? Is it gun control?
Is it we make superstars out of animals?
Is it the movies we make? The video games?
I don't know, but God I want an antidote
All I know is this world is broken
Our sin is the reason it
Ain't like it's supposed to
Words fall short tryna comfort the grieving
But, you gotta know that there's
Hope to believe in
One day my God gon' crack the sky
He gon' bottle up every tear that we ever cry
Bring truth to every lie
Justice for every crime
All our shame will be gone and
We'll never have to hide
No more broken hearts, no more broken homes
No more locking doors
No more cops patrolling
No abusive words, or abusive touches
No more cancerous cells that'll
Take our loved ones no more hungry kids
No more natural disasters
No child will ever have to
Ask where his dad is
No funerals, where we wear all black
And death will be dead, then
We'll lock the casket, yes
It's been years since I've seen
Family on my father's side
A bittersweet moment but tell me why
Nothing less than the sting of
Death brought us together
I sat and listened to the priest tell lies
To appease loved ones in they seats
When you're looking at a face that's weeping
The grim truth don't bring 'em no peace
