Foreman, Jon - Terminal Lyrics
The doctor says I'm dying
I die a little every day
But he's got no prescription that could
Take my death away
The doctor says it don't look so good
Some folks die in offices one day at a time
They could live a hundred years
But their soul's already dead
Don't let your spirit die before your body does
We're terminal, we're terminal
We're terminal
We are, we are the living souls
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
Whenever I start cursing at the traffic or the phone
I remind myself that we have all got cancer in our bones
Don’t yell at the dead, show a little respect
It’s terminal, it's terminal
We are, we are the living souls
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
[x2]
[Spoken:]
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
For our days here are like grass
We flourish like a flower of the field
The wind blows and it is gone
And its place remembers it no more
Naked we came from our mother’s womb
And naked we will depart
For we bring nothing into the world
And we take nothing away
And we take nothing away
We are, we are the living souls
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
We're fatally flawed in the image of God

The doctor says I'm dying
I die a little every day
But he's got no prescription that could
Take my death away
The doctor says it don't look so good
It's terminal
Some folks die in offices one day at a time
They could live a hundred years
But their soul's already dead
Don't let your spirit die before your body does
We're terminal, we're terminal
We're terminal
We are, we are living souls
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
We're fatally flawed, we're fatally flawed
Whenever I start cursing at the traffic or the phone
I remind myself that we have all got cancer in our bones
Don’t yell at the dead, show a little respect
It’s terminal, it's terminal
We are, we are living souls
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
Flickering like candles, flickering like candles
We're fatally flawed, we're fatally flawed

Naked we came from our mother’s womb

For we bring nothing into the world
And we can take nothing away
For we bring nothing into the world
And we take nothing away...
We are, we are living souls
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
Flickering like candles, flickering like candles
We're fatally flawed in the image of God
Excellent song, lyrical genius ❤️
Amo demasiado esta canción!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me or does Jon's music seem like it's inspired by Coldplay?
perhaps instrumentally but if you compare lyrics, there is no similarity... jon lyrics: deep, moving & brilliant... coldplay lyrics: "I'd rather be a comma than a full stop"... no competition whatsoever...in my opinion anyways =)
The instrumental on this song is soooo beautiful, makes me think of snow coming down in an open Glen surrounded by trees which is a complete contrast to the lyrics but maybe not so much of a contrast 🤔
Love this song, such a haunting tune and meaningful lyrics!
COLDPLAY
Your music is so meaningful. :-)
linda canção, obrigado jon!
+shohna amen
A lot of times, I wish I had chosen an easier career. Then I remember this... "Some folks die in offices one day at a time. They could live a hundred years, but the soul's already died. Don't let your spirit die before your body does." And then it's all worth it. All the sweat and tears. Thank you, sir.
Thank,s for good music.
Love this
My fave part is the choir part near the end, its a beautiful bridge leading to the image of God part.
Jon, nobody writes like you do. You help keep me on track to remember that we're headed Home. Like in "4:12", sometimes I start thinking that "all we are is material." But then I listen to your stuff and it makes me realize: that kind of thinking is "nonsensical" - because "we are the lost souls with a second start following the Builder home!" Thank you.
+shohna I write like him. I'm the female version of him.
+Jeannie Aromea for real? haha :D
+Randell Moesnadi does that excite you? subscribe to my YouTube page and my facebook. cheers...
+Jeannie Aromea youre obviously not, cos Jon would never say shit like what you just did
+Jeannie Aromea Hate to rain on your parade, but it smells like trash advertising in here. Nobody writes-- or performs-- like this dude.
We are the living souls! ;)
This Song Is Awesome!
Yep! It's important to stay active and not to be sitting around all the time. I have 70 years coming up in November and I'm always busy with something. Mostly I like helping others.
Thank you :')
Amazingly beautiful song.
Love this song!
Nice job, Jon!
Love ya Jonny- saw you in Lynchburg, VA- what a show. Thank you for all you do for the Kingdom. You are making a difference. You are real, that's what attracts others to Christ. Keep pressing on brother. Tell Keith we all said "Keeeeeeeeeeith" here in Lynchburg ;o)
we are dying everyday.
So Good! Love the artworks too.Excited for the whole Wonderlands set :)
Such a great sound and meaning :} Thanks Jon!
