John Fischer Nobody Wants to Die Lyrics

"What does it mean to die, Papa?"
"Well, it means different things to different people. To some people it is the end of everything; to others it's only the beginning."
"I just don't understand this."
"I know, son, it's hard for you to understand right now. Let me try another way to explain it. It's like going through something very hard to receive something so wonderful, that you forget how hard it was getting there."
"Like when we had Annie in Denver, Colorado?"
"Why, that's exactly what it's like! We almost lost Annie, so having her is that much more wonderful.

Nobody Wants to Die
Words and Music by John Fischer

You want to have wisdom
Without making mistakes
You want have money
Without the work that it takes
You want to be loved
But you don't want the heartaches

Everyone wants to get to heaven Lord
Nobody wants to die
Everyone wants to get to heaven Lord
Nobody wants to die

You want to be forgiven
Without taking the blame
You want to eat forbidden fruit
Without leaving a stain
You want the glory
But you don't want the shame

Everyone wants to get to heaven Lord
Nobody wants to die
Everyone wants to get to heaven Lord
Nobody wants to die

You want to be a winner
Without taking a loss
You want to be a disciple
Without counting the cost
You want to follow Jesus
But you don't want to go to the cross

Everyone wants to get to heaven Lord
Nobody wants to die
Everyone wants to get to heaven Lord
Nobody wants to die
