wont stop for death

wont stop for death
when hes knocking down my door
ill take a breath
and then ill take some more

up into my mind
deep into my heart
its there that i will find
the greatest work of art

i will question death
i will make him answer me
i will take another step
along the path to become free

up into the light
and down into the ground
ill turn my inner sight
to the beauty that i found

i won’t stop for death
every time he comes around
ride atop the oceans crest
listen to the healing sound

the perfection of Gods word
that sets all captives free
its the only song ive heard
and its all i wanna be

i wont stop for death
ill get what i want
ill turn my enemy
into my confidant

yes, for my whole life
deep inside my soul
i know death doesnt exist
like an actor plays a role
