Foreman, Jon - Learning How To Die Lyrics

Eye-opening lyrics that show life’s purpose is beyond life itself...in fact if the purpose of life was life, that is circular logic and we would not be here. It’s awesome to know that all our ultimate deaths are not the end and our lives have meaning beyond the ephemerality of themselves.

This song is a big reason why I decided to take a year off college and serve as a missionary over seas. I've never responded so emotionally to a song before, the reality that all of this life leads to our final surrender to God in death. All of our lives we live to prepare for that moment of sweet release. I got to meet Jon Foreman at a Switchfoot show, I told him how this song inspired me and then he gave me a manly bear-hug haha. Praise God!

Thank you

This song was one of the things that saved me from suicide, or instead its better to say, that Christ worked through this song and in many other ways to save my life. He's still working on me, and I'm still learning how to die.

Still probably gonna kill myself

Christian Rivera For real ? :(

@James A sorry

Weird that our paths cross, I have terminal Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) I’m 21, I’m searching for ways to live and you want the opposite. I don’t resent you’re choice as we’re in different positions, I just hope there’s something/anything in you’re life that makes you hang on to life :) maybe move to a new country and start a fresh!

I understand those feelings but remember this life is temporary our days here are short the pain won't be forever. Please think of the eternal, God wants you to look to Him and have hope. Hold on, seek counseling, pray ask God to strengthen your heart. You will overcome just don't give up.

God bless 💖

@James A Hi James i pray God's comfort and peace always be with you through these times. I pray an overflowing of His love surrounds you and a deeper relationship with God like never before. You're so brave and so strong. God has a purpose, i don't understand, you're so young! Still He is faithful. He will make all things right. Heaven is the goal for all believers sooner or later but we will all be in His glory where there will be no more pain or sorrow or tears.

If you ever perform in Montreal, please tell me. I'd be there

last song... ty

💜💜💜

I'm gonna miss you,
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
She says, "I love you
I'm gonna miss hearing your songs"

And I said, "Please
Don't talk about the end,
Don't talk about how every living thing 
Goes away..."

She said, "Friend, all along
Thought I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry, but really 
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die"

Hey everyone
I've got nowhere to go
The grave is lazy
He takes our bodies slowly

And I said "Please
Don't talk about the end,
Don't talk about how every living thing 
Goes away..."

She said, "Friend, all along
Thought I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to laugh not how to cry, but really 
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die, die
I've been learning how to die"

Thanks. good!

Nice 👍

Jon, I don't know if you read these comments, but but I wanted to thank you for this song. I think sometimes we get so caught up in what we call "living life" that we lose perspective on "learning how to die." It's not only the realization that nothing is permanent but also learning how to die to ourselves as Paul describes - the giving up of our selfish ambitions to focus on what's eternal. Your song, to me, is a great reminder of this attitude we should be carrying throughout our days on Earth.

Come to Argentina too!

A good, grounding song. Great tune and rhythm too
