(Verse 1)
It was just last week that my grandma died. Itâs been years since Iâve seen family on my fatherâs side. A bitter sweet moment but tell me why nothin 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 lookin at a face thatâs weepin the grim truth wonât bring âem no peace.
So I put on all white gloves like Mr. Jackson, carried the casket to the Cadillac,
then I realized this is the first time that me and my brothers ever did somethin together.
Whatever Iâm grown now, câmon, letâs just put on a smile and take pictures, take pictures.
Eat this humble pie and leave them dishes for somebody else to clean âem until I see yâall again.
(Hook)
Breakin down, breakin down, everything here is breakin down.
Breakin down, breakin down, itâs all breakin down, down, down.
Breakin down, breakin down, everything here is breakin down.
Breakin down, breakin down, but this wonât be forever, no.
You used to make me cry, but one day Heâll wipe every tear from our eyes.
Heâll come make all things right, and weâll sing âDeath has died,â
but until that day.
Until that day, oh until that day.
This wonât be forever.
Until that day, oh until that day.
This wonât be forever, this wonât be forever.
(Verse 2)
I hopped off the plane, my God what a scene that I seen on that TV screen.
People huddled âround, hands on their mouth, not again same problem that hit in Newtown.
26 dead, 20 of âem kids. Where do you begin when some lives just ended?
And everybody got the question, âIf Godâs so good howâd He let this happen?â
Is it mental health? Is it gun control? Is it we make superstars outta animals?
Is it the movies we make? The video games? I donât know, but God I want an antidote.
All I know is this world is broken. Our sin is the reason it ainât like itâs supposed to.
Words fall short tryna comfort the grieving, but you gotta know that thereâs Hope to believe in!
One day my God gonâ crack the sky, He gonâ bottle up every tear that we ever cried.
The Truth to every lie, justice for every crime. All our shame will be gone, and weâll never have to hide!
No more broken hearts! No more broken homes! No more lockin doors, no more cost control(??).
And no abusive words, no abusive touches, no more cancerous cells thatâll take our loved ones!
No more hungry kids, no more natural disasters, no child will ever have to ask for his dad.
Thereâs no funerals where we wear all black, and Death will be dead and weâll lock the casket!
(Hook)
You used to make me cry, but one day Heâll wipe every tear from our eyes.
Heâll come make all things right. And weâll sing âDeath has died.â
You used to make me cry, but one day Heâll wipe every tear from our eyes.
Heâll come make all things right. And weâll sing âDeath has died.â
But until that day...... This wonât be forever.
