Not Dead Yet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you see me, you can say what you want
Hard of hearing, you think that I’m outta touch
You may think that I’m washed up but I’m still in the game
Plus I don’t have time for this and I don’t care what you say
I’m not dead yet
Not dead yet
You say age is something to be running from
But I say it takes a lot of years to be young
The longer that I live, the more amazing life becomes
Faith, hope, charity I’m a witness to what it does
‘Cause I’m not dead yet
Not dead yet
Age is not a number or some sentimentality
It’s the measure of becoming who you were meant to be
Call me a Methuselah if that’s all you can see
But I’m just getting started call it destiny
As I look at you, I wonder just what I’ll find
Do you have a plan or do you just criticize?
The hands of time will never stop, no matter what you do
Live each moment like it was meant for you!
You’re not dead yet
Not dead
No you’re not dead yet
Not dead
Not dead yet, not dead yet, not dead yet, not dead yet
I’m just getting started
