[Verse 1]
People got imaginations running wild these days
Looking at the stars and counting down the ways
Some say a giant asteroid is overdue to fall
One bad day from outer space could finish us all
Some say volcanoes will darken up the sky
Turn the daylight into twilight, make the oceans cry
Some say methane from the cattle's gonna seal our fate
Funny how the end of everything is always up for debate
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's got a theory, got a headline to defend
A brand-new prediction of how it all might end
[Chorus]
Colorful ways the world could end
Flying through the rumor mill again
Aliens descending from the stars above
Zombies in the streets where we once fell in love
Every generation paints a different scene
Of the final page in some disaster magazine
But while they're drawing pictures of tomorrow's bitter bend
I'm busy living life instead of colorful ways the world could end
[Verse 2]
Some say secret labs are cooking up a super plague
Others swear the governments are turning every page
The internet keeps spinning stories faster every day
Fear can be a profitable thing when it's packaged the right way
Preppers build their bunkers, stacking supplies high
Waiting for the moment when the world goes bye-bye
But years keep rolling forward and the sunsets still arrive
And all that time preparing can steal the joy of being alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's got a warning, got a countdown to defend
A fresh catastrophe around every bend
[Chorus]
Colorful ways the world could end
Flying through the rumor mill again
Aliens descending from the stars above
Zombies in the streets where we once fell in love
Every generation paints a different scene
Of the final page in some disaster magazine
But while they're drawing pictures of tomorrow's bitter bend
I'm busy living life instead of colorful ways the world could end
[Bridge]
I believe the Author's already written how it goes
Not hidden in predictions or the panic people chose
A day will come when every knee will bow
Every tongue confess the truth somehow
Until that day arrives, there's work for us to do
Love the Lord, love your neighbor, and keep your heart true
[Final Chorus]
Colorful ways the world could end
People chasing shadows once again
Maybe it's a comet, maybe none of the above
But fear won't steal the moments that were given out of love
We don't own tomorrow, never did pretend
So I'll laugh a little louder with my family and friends
Life is far too precious for a fear we can't defend
So let the aliens and zombies take care of themselves, my friend
[Outro]
Live while you've got living left
Be kind while kindness can be spent
Love God, love people, hold them close
And don't waste today on colorful ways the world could end.
