Before I Die Lyrics
[00:00.05] C'mon
[00:02.94] Brothers and sisters
[00:06.41] I'm feelin' real good 'cause it ain't over
[00:10.63] Right before I die, I gotta live-
[00:12.76] Live out my dreams
[00:14.05] So, I can be what He planned for me
[00:16.75] Not just for me, but so they can see
[00:19.31] Much more of Him and less of- (right before I die, I gotta)
[00:22.86] Love my enemies (hoo), forgive the past
[00:25.91] And set 'em free so I can free
[00:28.60] Free up the things
[00:30.16] Every blessing God has for me
[00:32.78] See it's for me, not just for you (ow)
[00:35.47] I had to learn from what I've been through
[00:38.03] I can't go through that way again (uh)
[00:40.73] Be hurt by You that way again
[00:43.38] It's not the end (no, no)
[00:45.27] I used to be afraid to die
[00:48.04] I used to be afraid to try (used to be afraid)
[00:50.66] 'Cause I was too afraid of knowing
[00:53.32] What failing looked like (but the Son)
[00:56.06] But the Son came to give me life
[00:58.39] Now I feel like I can touch the sky (ha, ha)
[01:01.26] I'm ready (ha, ha) if you're ready (if you're ready)
[01:04.36] (Get up and live)
[01:05.14] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
[01:10.54] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
[01:14.90] (Get up and live)
[01:15.78] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (woo!)
[01:21.05] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (haha) (right now)
[01:25.50] Right before I die, I gotta (change)
[01:27.23] Change how I think
[01:28.58] Change how I speak
[01:30.11] I'm not the same
[01:31.27] So, when I speak you don't hear the pain
[01:34.05] No longer weak with no one to (right before I die, I gotta-)
[01:37.47] Become more like you (eh)
[01:39.22] Take up my cross
[01:40.55] To count the cost
[01:42.13] 'Cause I was lost
[01:43.43] That's why I praise you (ha, You're the only God)
[01:46.25] I don't know what they do (but I know)
[01:49.30] I used to be afraid to die (I used to be)
[01:51.90] I used to be afraid to try (I see you all)
[01:54.72] 'Cause I was too afraid of knowing
[01:57.62] What failing looked like (but here comes the Son)
[01:59.74] But the Son came to give me life (now I feel like)
[02:02.40] Now I feel like I can touch the sky (ha ha)
[02:05.09] I'm ready if you're ready (if you're ready)
[02:08.27] (Get up and live)
[02:09.26] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
[02:13.10] Right now (I feel so good) (right now)
[02:14.53] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
[02:18.44] (Ha, get up and live)
[02:19.86] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now) (I see you, Shawn)
[02:23.80] Right now (right now)
[02:25.09] Right now (right now), right now (right now) (ha ha), right now (right now)
[02:29.71] (Let the beat breathe)
[02:31.90] So, the next time you think of me
[02:34.57] And you wonder where I would be
[02:37.44] Without each blessing that helped me to see (that life)
[02:42.79] Life is much more than things (things)
[02:45.19] And how you live is more than how you sing (sing)
[02:47.94] When I die what did I really mean, I mean (yeah, yeah, yeah) (ayy)
[02:57.11] Say what now? Hah, say what?
[03:01.86] Hah, say what now?
[03:06.50] As we proceed, hah, to give you what you need
[03:10.77] Somebody (somebody), anybody (anybody), everybody (everybody), scream
[03:17.40] I used to be afraid to die (ayy!)
[03:20.04] I used to be afraid to try (I like this joint right here, man)
[03:22.60] 'Cause I was too afraid of knowing
[03:25.31] What failing looked like (but here comes the Son)
[03:27.79] But the Son came to give me life (thank you, Jesus)
[03:30.42] Now I feel like I can touch the sky
[03:33.03] I'm ready if you're ready (if you're ready)
[03:36.20] (Get up and live)
[03:37.23] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
[03:41.25] Right now (have mercy) (right now)
[03:42.51] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
[03:46.53] (Ha, get up and live)
[03:47.83] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (eeh) (right now)
[03:51.85] Right now (this day) (right now)
[03:53.12] Right now (right now), right now (will be your best day) (right now)
[03:55.76] Right now (we ain't finished) (right now) (Let's go)
[03:58.41] Right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now), right now (right now)
