Before I Die

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
