(Verse 1)
It was just last week that my grandma died. It’s been years since I’ve seen family on my father’s side. A bitter sweet moment but tell me why nothin less than the sting of death brought us together.
I sat and listened to the priest tell lies to appease loved ones in they seats.
When you lookin at a face that’s weepin the grim truth won’t bring ‘em no peace.
So I put on all white gloves like Mr. Jackson, carried the casket to the Cadillac,
then I realized this is the first time that me and my brothers ever did somethin together.
Whatever I’m grown now, c’mon, let’s just put on a smile and take pictures, take pictures.
Eat this humble pie and leave them dishes for somebody else to clean ‘em until I see y’all again.

(Hook)
Breakin down, breakin down, everything here is breakin down.
Breakin down, breakin down, it’s all breakin down, down, down.
Breakin down, breakin down, everything here is breakin down.
Breakin down, breakin down, but this won’t 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.
This won’t be forever.
Until that day, oh until that day.
This won’t be forever, this won’t be forever.

(Verse 2)
I hopped off the plane, my God what a scene that I seen on that TV screen.
People huddled ‘round, hands on their mouth, not again same problem that hit in Newtown.
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’d He let this happen?”
Is it mental health? Is it gun control? Is it we make superstars outta animals?
Is it the movies we make? The video games? I don’t know, 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.
The Truth to every lie, justice for every 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 cost control(??).
And no abusive words, no abusive touches, no more cancerous cells that’ll take our loved ones!
No more hungry kids, no more natural disasters, no child will ever have to ask for his dad.
There’s no funerals where we wear all black, and Death will be dead and we’ll lock the casket!

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...... This won’t be forever.
