It's Not Over
Jonny Lang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not over
It's not over
There's still time

Standin' on the edge of a bridge
A step away from ending it all
All the while you are wondering
Does anyone love me at all

Listening to all the wrong voices
Got you feeling broken and worthless
Well, I just thought that you should know this
Until you fulfill your purpose

It's not over
It's not over
There's still time

This one's for the prostitute
The drug abused, homeless and destitute
And anybody wanting to be rescued
There's still time

Yeah, this is for the orphan who is all alone
All he wants is to have a home
Your earthly father may have left you
But your Heavenly Father told me to tell you

It's not over
It's not over
There's still time

It's not over
It's not over
There's still time

Someone loves you
Someone hears you
Someone feels you
Someone can heal you
Someone wants to see you through

It's not over
It's not over
There's still time

It's not over
It's not over
There's still time

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

Please, please don't give up
Please don't

It's not over
Yeah, it's not over
No matter what you've been through
And no matter where you are today
I'm here to tell you

There was a time in my life I thought it was over
But I found out that He still loves me
No matter what I've done He still cares
Yeah, start it up again, start it up again, start it up again

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no




No, no, no, no
No, no, no
