Well it happened last night
Somebody died
There was no sorrow shared
No mournful prayer
Not one tear filled eye
And the man I found dead on his knees
Looked a lot like me
If you don't understand
The death of this man
Well it's easy to tell
You must die of yourself to be born again
And the old man that once lived in me
Is now dead indeed
To come alive in the spirit I must die of this man
To come alive in the spirit I must die of all I am
It's hard to turn loose of this life
But I know this old man has to die
To come Alive
Well I've buried him deep
But I get no relief
Cause his memory survived
And it haunts me some time
When I'm feeling weak
But I won't let him live in my head
Cause the old man's dead
To come alive in the spirit I must die of this man
To come alive in the spirit I must die of all I am
It's hard to turn loose of this life
But I know this old man has to die
To come alive
Well the world and it's wisdom
Could never understand
I started living from the death of this old man
Come alive in the spirit
Come alive in the spirit
