“When you see life flash before your eyes
The good the bad the wrong the right
Fade into a bright white line
Shinin' down on you
You’re hangin’ on by a thread
Wondering which one’s your last breath
Knowing there’s so much you have left to do
Live your life a better man
When you’ve been, halfway to heaven.”
-Brantley Gilbert
