And now, ladies and gentlemen

It ain't like
I can just walk away
Like choosing when to breathe
You know it don't work that way
It's hardwired
Living inside of me
No matter where I go
I know you're gonna be with me

I just can't seem to shake ya
Even if I could, yeah
I would not change a thing, yeah
Would not, would not change a thing, yeah
If it's pushing you away, yeah
Or running to ya
You still love me the same, yeah
Hallelujah

And as long as my heart is beating
And my lungs are breathing
I'll keep on singing for you
(Woo hoo hoo)
Even right through the moment
(Right through the moment)
When you call me home, yeah
(You call me home)
I'll still be singing for you
'Cause that's what lifers do
'Cause that's what lifers do
'Cause that's what lifers do
'Cause that's what lifers do

No, I'm not gonna stop
Whatever might come my way
No matter the high or low
You know it don't change a thing

'Cause it ain't what happens to me
Yeah, that don't define me
It's what I got inside me
What I, what I got inside me
And before I was created
(Before I was created)
You already knew, yeah
Ain't nothing gonna separate us
Hallelujah

And as long as my heart is beating
And my lungs are breathing
I'll keep on singing for you
(Woo hoo hoo)
Even right through the moment
(Right through the moment)
When you call me home, yeah
(You call me home)
I'll still be singin' for you
'Cause that's what lifers do
'Cause that's what lifers do
'Cause that's what lifers do
'Cause that's what lifers do

Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
I'm a lifer for life
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
I'm a lifer for life
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
I'm a lifer
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
I'm a lifer for life
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
I'm a lifer for life
Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right
I'm a lifer

As long as my heart is beating
(My heart is beating)
And my lungs are breathing
(My lungs are breathing)
I'll keep on singing for you
(I'm gonna keep on singing for you)
(Woo hoo hoo)
Even right through the moment
(Right through the moment)
When you call me home, yeah
Not gonna stop, I'll still be singing for you
'Cause that's what lifers do

(Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right)
(I'm a lifer for life)
'Cause that's what lifers do
(Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right)
'Cause that's what lifers do
(Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right)
(I'm a lifer for life)
'Cause that's what lifers do
(Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right)
I'm a lifer
