Life After Death
KJ-52 Lyrics

I rolled out the bed as the alarm started going off
The beginning of a new day with all its opportunities.

Rubbed my head with my arm it was the crack of dawn
Waking up, feeling the grueling effects of waking up early.

I’m late for work and I really just hate my job
Already facing stress and exhaustion early in the morning.

I kissed my wife good-bye and then I walk across the lawn
The love and support of family being the only constant in an ever-changing world.

Got in the car out the driveway and I’m riding on the road by the mall
Moving through one's mundane daily routine without a second thought.

Past the highway that I’m flying on but
Feeling confident in one's driving capabilities despite the dangers of the road.

It slows to crawl cause some guy was just driving wrong
Anger and frustration at the unpredictability of life.

And I’m getting mad 'cause I wonder why it's going on
Questioning the purpose of everyday struggles and hardships.

Get out the way I just scream as I’m driving on
Lashing out in frustration instead of taking a moment to reflect.

I hate my day and this way that it started off
Allowing negative thoughts to consume one's mindset.

I change lanes and I thought that I was pulling onto
Assuming one's personal path is clear without considering other people's paths in life.

The main lane but just then I saw this green Honda
Unexpected events that occur in life without warning.

It straight came next thing it was the window shattered
The fragility and brevity of human life.

Felt a great pain my body being bruised and battered
Feeling the physical repercussions of an accident.

It all changed went black and I knew I had it
An abrupt end to one's life, with no turning back.

I coughed blood breathed my last breath that was it
Facing mortality and the inescapable finality of death.

What ya gonna do when there's no time left?
Life is short and can end at any moment, so one should cherish every moment like it is the last.

What ya gonna do when ya take ya last step?
As one's time on this earth comes to an end, they should ask themselves what they have accomplished and if they are ready to face death.

What ya gonna do when ya take ya last breath
As one draws their last breath, they should reflect on their life and if they have made the most of it.

Out ya chest and find out that there's life after death?
The possibility of life after death and the accountability one may face in the afterlife.

Next thing I know everything just got real quite
The peaceful calm that follows the chaos of death.

I opened my eyes to my surprise now it's real silent
Awakening to the reality of death and the unknown beyond.

I realized I had died now it's my judgment
Facing judgement for one's actions in life.

I’m standing before the Most High now and all of the sudden
Facing a higher power and the accountability that comes with it.

He said to me, "Why should I let you into My heaven?"
Questioning one's worthiness and morality to enter heaven.

I told God, "Well usually I’m a good person."
Using past actions as a means of justification without fully acknowledging one's shortcomings.

He showed my life and all the times now that I was sinning
Being shown the reality of one's actions and their consequential effects.

Every line to every curse to every bad decision
Every negative action or thought that contributed to one's sinful nature.

From every lie to every word there was nothing hidden
The transparency of one's actions and lack of true repentance.

He showed how Christ died and with my life and that I’d killed Him
Realizing one's connection to Christ's crucifixion and Him taking on the consequences of one's sins.

He showed me time after time how I’d reject Him
Recognizing one's rejection of God's mercy and grace.

I never cared about the sacrifice God had given
Being unaware or indifferent towards the sacrifice God made for humanity.

I never cared about my life or the way I lived it
Prioritizing temporary pleasures over lasting fulfillment.

And now I’ve died and it's too late to be forgiven
Regretting the lack of effort to truly repent for one's sins.

Guilty of my crime I’m sentenced to eternal prison
Facing the consequences of one's actions and being held accountable.

It's dark, I’m alone, I feel my flesh burning
Experiencing the pain and agony of eternal damnation.

I’m praying and I’m thanking God that I got my job
Turning towards God in gratitude and acknowledging the blessings in one's life.

I’m thanking God for the way my day had started off
Choosing to focus on the positive aspects of one's life despite hardships.

But I’m not mad I just wonder why it's going on
Choosing to look for the meaning and lessons in life's struggles.

I use the time to pray for my family now and for my mom
Choosing to prioritize the well-being and needs of others in one's prayers.

He showed how his son died and with my life and that I’d killed Him
Acknowledging the role one played in Christ's crucifixion and seeking forgiveness.

But He showed the time I chose Christ and I didn't reject Him
Recognizing moments of choosing faith and accepting divine grace.

He showed the time when I took the love that God had given
Recognizing moments of appreciating and being receptive to the love and blessings of God.

He tried to serve through my life whenever I lived it
Acknowledging the ways in which God has worked through one's life.

And now I’ve died but I thank God that I’m forgiven
Finding peace and gratitude in the forgiveness of sins and the prospect of eternal life.

He wiped the tears from my eyes as I cried and thanked Him
Feeling comforted by God's love and grace in moments of vulnerability.

'Cause forever I’m a be with Him just in Heaven
The ultimate reward and sense of fulfillment that comes with being in the presence of God in Heaven.
