Bottom Of The 9th

Come on, baby, baby, come on, baby, baby

Come on, come on, come on

I told you I'd come through for you Knine

A little late though, bottom of the 9th, let's go

Now I never been very assertive

I guess always preferred to just keep my mouth shut

So a lotta unspoken words are comin' out now

Figured I'd speak out loud before it's too late

For me to get my thoughts out

This world is so perverted from sex, greed to murder

We been touched by the clergy and guilty's the verdict

But thank God, the high priest interceded and cleared up

The dirt that I stirred up

It sure doesn't take a lot for me to be sure of

The fact that for my sins I deserve to be murdered

But thankfully the livin' word is somethin' I've heard of

Which means that death was somethin' I ain't gotta be scared of

I've been cured of it

Now all the years that I've wasted and all the tears that I've tasted

Have forced me to face the truth and embrace it

Which leaves me to the question, it's simple and basic

What is true life and have you ever tasted it?

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for

And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards

It is for certain you can't take a pill for

It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time

There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th

Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey

Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey

Well, it's the bottom of the 9th

3 balls and 2 strikes and God's loaded the bases

So I'm goin' up to the plate with Satan's aces

He'll try to throw me some garbage, hopin' I take it

But I'm patient

He know I chased it in my past life, wanted the fast life

But I have Christ so that [Incomprehensible] is ancient

Was with the devil 'til I figured out he came

When I play with the angels, now no longer a free agent

I was losing the game until he saved it

We ain't the Dodgers, we the Braves

So we facin' the fact that when you leave here

It's only one of two places, either you're out or you're safest

Really no way kids should have to die

We just got away from home

Jesus been made the sacrifice for lives

So open your eyes, coach is giving you the sign

Batter up game

Homey, the game's on the line, let's go

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for

And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards

It is for certain you can't take a pill for

It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time

There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th

Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey

Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey

So when you're tired and low down and everything seems to go wrong

Put on your rally caps and be strong

We down in the bottom of the 9th but know now

The one who's going to win this showdown so keep, keep on

Keep fightin' the whole round and know the same one

Who's graceful in His gold crown, He sees ya

So get busy, hey, hey, get busy, hey

He's so proud, you're His own child, believe it

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for

And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards

It is for certain you can't take a pill for

It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time

There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th

Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey

Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey, hey

You only got one life to live, you only got one life to live

You only got one life to live, you only got one life to give

You only got one life to lose, only got one life to choose

What you gon' live for, there's only one thing worth livin' for

There's only one thing to live for, die for, get killed for

And no, it's not what they sellin' on them billboards

It is for certain you can't take a pill for

It's happenin' whether you will or won't ignore

Look at the signs, we're runnin' out of time

There's work to be done, it's the bottom of the 9th

Get busy, hey, so get busy, hey

Choose life, seek Christ and get busy, hey, hey
