I’m only human, I’m just an ordinary man
But I’m gonna outrun the Reaper for as long as I can
I know he will claim my life someday
But not anytime soon, I hope and pray.
There are so many things left for me to do
It’s way too soon for my life to be through
I want to go there, but Heaven can wait
St. Peter, keep my name on your list, but for now, close the gate.
Enjoying a long life, that is my plan
So I’m gonna outrun the Reaper for as long as I can
I know that someday the end will arrive
But for now, I’m just thankful to be alive.
None of us know for sure how much time we’ve got
But it’s your choice whether you give up or not
As for me, I choose to stay here and fight
It’s still much too soon to walk into the light.
