Lyrics
Not Done Yet
Verses © September 1997 - Chorus © August 21, 2003. Music & Lyrics By Bob Gray
The words go tumbling through my head, chasing, twisted, dying and dead.
Fragments of a never was,
Twisted 'round a what will be, carry on in spite of me.
Chorus:
I know... I'm not going to live forever
But help me out, 'cuz I know I'm not done yet.
I've still got to do some more livin'
I've faced some fears, I've got some regrets ------------(No words)------
But I'm not done yet.
We grieve no less for those we know. Yet somehow seems a lesser blow,
And overseas, a world away,
Their peacefulness is stilled...
As silently I walk the floor, Truth cries once, then cries no more
Where innocence shall not return.
For in the instant it is seen, it hides itself in could have been.
Repeat Chorus:
Some find grief in others' pain, extinguished light we all disdain.
Casting shadows on the wall
The truth itself shall burn... I wonder what we've learned ?
Repeat Chorus:
The words go tumbling through my head...
