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 wont 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, everything here is breaking down, it's all breaking down down down, everything here is breaking down, but this wont 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, 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, 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 forever
