The dead walk among the living

The Dead Walk Among the Living (Light I Can Feel)

by : Robert Ramage

Intro (spoken / soft gospel tone)

They say if you can’t see it, it ain’t real

But I’ve felt a hand on my shoulder

When no one else was there

Yeah… I believe in a light I can feel

Verse 1

The dead walk among the living

Eyes open but they don’t see

Hearts still beating, hope still missing

Just shadows where faith should be

I’ve said prayers I was scared to pray

Asked for things I didn’t deserve

But even when my words fell sideways

I felt mercy stir

Pre-Chorus

I don’t always know His timing

I don’t always know His plan

But I’ve felt peace in the middle of the fire

That no man could understand

Chorus

The dead walk among the living

But I feel Heaven when I breathe

I can’t see Him, but I know He’s listening

Every time I fall to my knees

I asked for more than I was given

But He gave me what I need

The dead walk among the living

But His light is alive in me

Verse 2

I’ve chased comfort, I’ve chased control

Prayed for shortcuts out of the storm

But He kept my feet on broken roads

‘Til my heart got reborn

I’ve been lost in the noise of the crowd

Where truth gets traded for gold

Still a whisper cut through the loud

Said, “Son, you’re not alone”

Pre-Chorus

When my faith feels paper-thin

And my strength won’t hold

That’s when I feel Him carry me

Through the dark unknown

Chorus

The dead walk among the living

Still breathing but bound by fear

I can’t see Him, but I know He’s with me

Every step, every tear

I prayed for doors to open wide

He showed me how to believe

The dead walk among the living

But His light is alive in me

Bridge (gospel lift / call & response feel)

When I couldn’t find the answers

He became the way

When I prayed for silver and gold

He taught my heart to pray

I asked for strength

He gave me grace

I asked for sight

He showed my face

In His light

Final Chorus (lifted / choir-backed feel)

The dead walk among the living

But I’ve been called awake

I was blind, now I’m forgiven

By amazing grace

I don’t need to see to believe

I feel Him when I breathe

The dead walk among the living

But His light… His light lives in me

Outro

I don’t see Him with my eyes

But I feel Him in my soul

And that’s enough to bring the dead to life.
