Matt Cranstoun - Ain't Dead Yet Lyrics

it took a little time to see the light
now it’s too late to make things right
and he’s got more than a few words for them
how he wasted time was his only sin
and his eyes are open and feet moving to the beat of the charm he has left
he said “i may be old but i ain’t dumb, and i ain’t dead yet”
she had two boys and one girl too
and if you don’t love jesus then she ain’t got time for you
she outlived her two boys in a most tragic form
never left the town of which she was born
as she watched them lower her daughter down her shaking hands come to rest
she said “i may’ve never left this place in my life, but i ain’t dead yet”
i don’t care no, i’m not scared no, i know where i’m going
when they bury me here
he came to the city from the depths of the forest
now he’s living on the streets shedding tears for the tourists
it wasn’t too easy when he snuck out in the middle of the night
he tried to write a letter but the pen wouldn’t write
it would’ve said “i ain’t dead yet”
