lyrics

Some people cry when the night is all around
Some people lay there and moan.
Still others fear that their lives are over now
But death isn't gonna take me baby
Death isn't gonna take me

Some try to rest safe inside the Ivory Tower
Built out of carbon and bone.
Trying in vein to avoid that awful hour
But death isn't gonna take me baby
Death isn't gonna take me

Oh my Lord has paid the price for me
For my friends and for my family.
When you get tired just keep on
You've got a God to lean on
And then you'll find death is not the end.

Some people burn
Burn their candle at both ends
Some flicker out in the breeze
And other's shoot bright like a firework
As they try to outdo their friends
But death brings them to their knees baby
Death brings them to their knees

Oh my Lord has paid the price for me
For my friends and for my enemies.
When you get tired just keep on
You've got a God to lean on
And then you'll find death is not the end.

Jesus wept for Lazarus
Jesus wept for all of us
