Deathless Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz & IDMC Gospel Choir]
He said, he said
He said, he said
"Do you smoke?
What’s your name?
Do you know why I’m here?"
She was, she was
Innocent, sweet sixteen
Frozen with fear
[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Whatever happens, whatever happened
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened
We are deathless
We are deathless
[Verse 2: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz & IDMC Gospel Choir]
He said, he said
"You're not clean, you might deal
All the same with that skin"
She was, she was
Funny looks with her books
Left for dead in the streets
[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Whatever happens, whatever happened
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened
We are deathless
We are deathless
[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Whatever happens, whatever happened
We are deathless
We are deathless
Whatever happens, whatever happened
We are deathless
We are deathless
