Nobody is Ready to Die

**Title: “The Path of Life”**

**Verse 1**

Nobody is ready for the night to fall

For the final quiet when the curtain calls

All the colors fading from the sky we knew

Every sound dissolving into something new

All the stories written in the days we lived

Every song and every breath we had to give

Packed away like treasures in a hidden room

As the world grows silent in the darkened tomb

**Pre-Chorus**

All the lights that filled the open air

All the faces once standing there

Echo softly through the door of time

**Chorus**

Nobody is ready to die

When the world begins to say goodbye

All the stars we carried in our sight

Fade into the silent night

But the path of life still shines above

Through the hands of God and Christ our love

When the final shadow passes by

He will call the sleeping back to life

**Verse 2**

Every soul we loved begins to shine

Like a thousand memories in a line

Walking slowly through a crimson hall

Living portraits hanging on the wall

Every laugh and every wounded day

Every friend who helped us on the way

Even those who left a scar behind

Still are written in the heart and mind

**Pre-Chorus**

Hold the light that flickers in the air

Not every glow is something rare

Some will fade like dust before the dawn

**Chorus**

Nobody is ready to die

When the world begins to say goodbye

All the stars we carried in our sight

Fade into the silent night

But the path of life still shines above

Through the hands of God and Christ our love

When the final shadow passes by

He will call the sleeping back to life

**Bridge**

Even in the quiet of the grave

Hope is stronger than the fear we gave

For the King who conquered death itself

Holds the book where every life is kept

And the light that flashes at the end

Like a star escaping where worlds bend

Is the promise written long before

Life will open one more door

**Final Chorus**

Nobody is ready to die

Every heart was made to reach the sky

And the love we carried through the years

Is not buried with our tears

For the path of life will never end

Christ will call His children home again

And beyond the silence of the night

The Lord will raise us

From the darkness

Back into His light.
