Lifer - MercyMe, Bart Millard, Barry Graul

It ain’t like

I can just walk away

Like choosing when to breathe

You know it don’t work that way

It’s hard-wired

Living inside of me

No matter where I go

I know you’re gonna be with me

I just can’t seem to shake it

Even if I could, yeah

I would not change a thing, yeah

Would not, would not change a thing, yeah

If it’s pushing you away, yeah

Or running to you

You still love me the same, yeah

Hallelujah

And as long as my heart is beatin'

And my lungs are breathin'

I’ll keep on singin' for you

(Woo hoo hoo)

Even right through the moment

(Right through the moment)

When you call me home, yeah

(You call me home)

I’ll still be singin' for you

'Cause that’s what lifers do

'Cause that’s what lifers do

'Cause that’s what lifers do

'Cause that’s what lifers do

No, I’m not gonna stop

Whatever might come my way

No matter the high or low

You know it don’t change a thing

'Cause it ain’t what happens to me

Yeah, that don’t define me

It’s what I got inside me

What I, what I got inside me

And before I was created

(Before I was created)

You already knew, yeah

Ain’t nothing gonna separate us

Hallelujah

And as long as my heart is beatin'

And my lungs are breathin'

I’ll keep on singin' for you

(Woo hoo hoo)

Even right through the moment

(Right through the moment)

When you call me home, yeah

(You call me home)

I’ll still be singin' for you

'Cause that’s what lifers do

'Cause that’s what lifers do

'Cause that’s what lifers do

'Cause that’s what lifers do
