Fresh from the success of the first single Dark Horses and its follow-up Restless, (Contemporary Christian) rock band Switchfoot has released the much harder-edged Afterlife from its Vice Verses opus. While my 35-year-old ears were initially surprised by the rather loud sound, Afterlife quickly grew on me, and I can certainly expect to hear Afterlife playing on CHR rock stations, secular and Christian, throughout the USA.
AFTERLIFE Lyrics
Switchfoot
I’ve tasted fire I’m ready to come alive
I can’t just shut it up and fake that I’m alright
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife
I’ll Let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the other side
I’m ready now, I’m ready now
Cause everyday the world is made
A chance to change But I feel the same
And I wonder
Why would I wait till I die to come alive?
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife
I still believe we could live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/switchfoot/afterlife_20978690.html ]
I still believe in us together
You and I we’re here together now
Forever now
Forever now
Or never now
Cause everyday the world is made
A chance to change But I feel the same
And I wonder
Why would I wait till I die to come alive?
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife
Everyday
A choice is made
Everyday
I choose my fate
And I wonder
Why would I wait till I die to come alive?
Everyday I still feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait till I die to come alive?
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife
