death has died

Singer:andy mineo

it was just last week that my grandma died

it's been years since i've seen family on my fathers side

a bitter sweet

moment but tell me why

nothing less then the sting of death brought us together

i sat and listened to the priest tell lies

to appease loved ones in their seats

when you looking at a face that's weaping

the grim truth wont bring'em no peace

so i put on

all white gloves like mr. jackson

carried the casket to the cadillac then

i realised 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 the smiles

and take pictures

take pictures

uh

eat this humble pie then leave them dishes

for somebody else to clean 'em until i see ya'll again

everything here is breaking down

it's all breaking down down down

everything here is breaking down

but this wont 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

oh

oh

this won't be for ever

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

26 dead

20 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 dunno

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 cried

bring truth to every lie

justice for ever crime

all our shame will be gone and we'll never have to hide

no more broken hearts

no more broken homes

no more lockin' doors

no more cops patrollin'

no abusive words

or abusive touches

no more cancerous cells that'll take our loved ones

no more hungry kids

no more natual disaster

no child will ever have to ask where his dad is

no funerals where we wear all black

and death will be dead and we'll lock the casket

yes!

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

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

oh

oh

this won't be forever
