Cancel my funeral
Push back the soil
Wipe the tears away
Take back the words you said
Oh Preacher, I'm not dead
Cancel my funeral

Don't take another look
Or waste another word I'm
(I'm right here waiting)
I know you look scared
This is the only way to
(To keep from dying)
It's just enough time
To make this blood stop
Please receive me
Just, don't say, good-bye

And as the plane crashed down
I thought you said "let go"
And as our bodies burn
I felt you say "hold on"
I knew that I would never be
Like one who had NO HOPE!!

So you, Cancel my funeral
Push back the soil
Wipe the tears away
Take back the words you said
Oh Preacher, I'm not dead
Cancel my funeral

-----MID-------

This time we've had
Flashed in my eyes
And as the plane crashed down
I felt you sigh
(This is over, this is over, this over now)

I begged to never count the days
Beg to never live a better day
Only to maintain
That this is over, this is over now

And as I woke up
I realized the things I've said
The plans I've made
They can't happen until I'm dead
Dead to myself, but alive in you

Cancel my funeral
Push back the soil
Wipe the tears away
Take back the words you said
Oh Preacher, I'm not dead
Cancel my funeral now
