There Might Be More Than You Can See—Brad Arnold Believed It

Brad Arnold, lead singer of 3 Doors Down, co-wrote “It’s Not My Time,” released in 2008. The lyrics suggest something beyond what we can see. Now he knows what comes next. He’s with God, and God’s will for him continues.

Turn it up loud.

Looking back and from beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me and love and all of our friends
Living life like an ocean

But now the current’s slowly pulling me down
It’s getting harder to breathe
It won’t be too long and I’ll be going under
Can you save me from this?

Cause it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a fear in me, it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
I won’t go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I’m in a world that tries to take ’em away
Oh, but I’m taking them back

Cause all this time I’ve just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friend, this life we live, it’s not what we have
It’s what we believe and
It’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a fear in me, it’s not showing

This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But I won’t go
I won’t go

There might be more than you believe
There might be more than you believe
There might be more than you can see

But it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a fear in me, it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

But it’s not my time, I’m not going
There’s a will in me and now it’s gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

There might be more than you believe
There might be more than you believe
There might be more than you can see
But I won’t go

Oh, no, I won’t go down

“This could be the end of me.” But Brad’s spirit lives on.
