Lyrics

C'mon Brothers and sisters I'm feelin' real good 'cause it ain't over Right before I die, I gotta live- Live out my dreams So, I can be what He planned for me Not just for me, but so they can see Much more of Him and less of- (right before I die, I gotta) Love my enemies (hoo), forgive the past And set 'em free so I can free Free up the things Every blessing God has for me See it's for me, not just for you (ow) I had to learn from what I've been through I can't go through that way again (uh) Be hurt by You that way again It's not the end (no, no) I used to be afraid to die I used to be afraid to try (used to be afraid) 'Cause I was too afraid of knowing What failing looked like (but the Son) But the Son came to give me life Now I feel like I can touch the sky (ha, ha) I'm ready (ha, ha) if you're ready (if you're ready) (Get up and live) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (Get up and live) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (woo!) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (haha) (right now) Right before I die, I gotta (change) Change how I think Change how I speak I'm not the same So, when I speak you don't hear the pain No longer weak with no one to (right before I die, I gotta-) Become more like you (eh) Take up my cross To count the cost 'Cause I was lost That's why I praise you (ha, You're the only God) I don't know what they do (but I know) I used to be afraid to die (I used to be) I used to be afraid to try (I see you all) 'Cause I was too afraid of knowing What failing looked like (but here comes the Son) But the Son came to give me life (now I feel like) Now I feel like I can touch the sky (ha ha) I'm ready if you're ready (if you're ready) (Get up and live) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) Right now (I feel so good) (right now) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (Ha, get up and live) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (I see you, Shawn) Right now (right now) Right now (right now), right now (right now) (ha ha), right now (right now) (Let the beat breathe) So, the next time you think of me And you wonder where I would be Without each blessing that helped me to see (that life) Life is much more than things (things) And how you live is more than how you sing (sing) When I die what did I really mean, I mean (yeah, yeah, yeah) (ayy) Say what now? Hah, say what? Hah, say what now? As we proceed, hah, to give you what you need Somebody (somebody), anybody (anybody), everybody (everybody), scream I used to be afraid to die (ayy!) I used to be afraid to try (I like this joint right here, man) 'Cause I was too afraid of knowing What failing looked like (but here comes the Son) But the Son came to give me life (thank you, Jesus) Now I feel like I can touch the sky I'm ready if you're ready (if you're ready) (Get up and live) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) Right now (have mercy) (right now) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (Ha, get up and live) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (eeh) (right now) Right now (this day) (right now) Right now (right now), right now (will be your best day) (right now) Right now (we ain't finished) (right now) (Let's go) Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) Right now (right now), right now (hoo-hoo) (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) Lord have mercy I told you it ain't over for you I see you livin' I see you makin' it, but yo Right before I live, I have to die
