John Schlitt Not Dead Yet Lyrics

When you see me, you can say what you want
Hard of hearing, you think that I'm outta touch
You may think that I'm washed up but I'm still in the game
Plus I don't have time for this – and I don't care what you say

I'm not dead yet
Not dead yet

You say age is something to be running from
But I say it takes a lot of years to be young
The longer that I live, the more amazing life becomes
Faith – Hope – Charity – I'm a witness to what it does

‘Cause I'm not dead yet
Not dead yet

(bridge)
Age is not a number or some sentimentality It's the measure of becoming who you were meant to be
Call me a Methuselah – if that's all you can see
But I'm just getting started – call it destiny

As I look at you, I wonder just what I'll find
Do you have a plan – or do you just criticize?
The hands of time will never stop, no matter what you do
Live each moment like it was meant for you!

You're not dead yet
Not dead
No you're not dead yet
Not dead

Not dead yet, not dead yet, not dead yet, not dead yet
I'm just getting started

(ad lib…)
