Death Has Died (a cappella) Songtext
von 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 than 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′re looking at a face that's weeping
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 realized 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, now
(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
'Til that day
Oh, until that day
Oh, oh, oh
This won't be forever
′Til that day
Oh, until that day
Oh
(This won′t be forever)
Oh, oh
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
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 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 grievin'
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)
(It′ll be right, then)
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

′Til that day
Oh, until that day
(Your day is comin')
Oh, oh, oh
This won′t be forever
'Til that day
('Til that day will, oh)
Oh, until that day
Oh, oh, oh
This won′t be forever
(This won′t be forever)
