I've been playing for a while
Living life in my own style
Making choices that walk
A mental line
Telling myself it's okay
My heart was hardly in the way
Now I feel a call
To move beyond this time

Kick me out of the game
I need an inning on the bench
I need a season in Your presence
Nothing's worth losing You to gain
I know I need to grow
But I'm not strong enough, so
Kick me out of the game
For good

I have dreamed so many nights
Of the fervor and the life
You planted long ago
In me
In the day of summer sun
All my dreaming comes undone
And I lose sight
Of that destiny

Kick me out of the game
I need an inning on the bench
I need a season in Your presence
Nothing's worth losing You to gain
I know I need to grow
But I'm not strong enough, so
Kick me out of the game
For good

I only came to play for entertainment
In a game where the heart is tossed for sport
I need more than just a better arrangement
I need You to call me up short

Kick me out of the game
I need an inning on the bench
I need a season in Your presence
Nothing's worth losing You to gain
I know I need to grow
But I'm not strong enough, so
Kick me out of the game
For good
