Death Has Died

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 won't 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

(Breakin' down, breakin' down)

Everything here is breaking down

(Br-br-Breakin' down, breakin' down)

It's all breaking down down down

(Breakin' down, breakin' down)

Everything here is breaking down

(Breakin' down, breakin' 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, 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 (you used to make me cry)

But one day He'll wipe every tear from our eyes (every tear from our eyes)

He'll come make all things right (all things right)

And we'll sing death has died

But until that day

You used to make me cry (you used to make me cry)

But one day He'll wipe every tear from our eyes (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
