Daniel Amos - Now That I've Died lyrics

Babe, I'm happy now, and much more grateful Not to mention less contentious, vengeful and hateful Guess I'm what you would call childlike and playful Just swimming with the tide I lost me stiff, stiff neck and my hard, hard, heart My self-respect is off the charts Just hanging out here on the other side Dead to my pride, now that I've died I can't hurt you now or harm anyone I'm too busy helping people and having fun I'm not a loner anymore since I joined the tribe On the other side And I love my neighbor as I love myself I'm loved by God I've got my health I'm going strong and becoming wise I couldn't lie if I tried Now that I've died! My new skin glows, I can't help but smile Cuz the music round here is just my style Every door's been unlocked and I'm going inside All bushy tailed and wide eyed I sell records world wide now that I've died Up here I don't hold back, I never flinch I go the extra mile when asked for an inch And the rich serve the poor and the poor are the rich It's kind of hard to describe I'm never cynical, but still a little sarcastic By the way the cuisine here is pretty fantastic And I never have to ask what's the truth what's a lie It's pretty cut and dried Now that I've died! Like I said babe, I'm so much more grateful Imagine me all honorable and faithful! But things have changed, I'm not so unstable Completely satisfied And the future's getting brighter Now that I'm past the hard part Of walkin' through that dark door Into the darkest dark Let me say baby, (all this missing you aside) I've never been more alive Now that I've died!
