The Late Innings

Lyrics

If the fate of the soul
Is beyond our control
Then nothing we do would matter
But if the chance that we take
Is a fatal mistake
We’re headed for real disaster
Let’s wind it all back
And start all over again
We’ll stay on track
If we’re not drowning in sin
Cause it’s not over yet for us

When they let you go
I felt I had to act
What you might’ve lost
I had to get it back
Though you didn’t ask
I went to make the case
I had the full intent
To put them in their place

If anyone’s at fault
I said it must be me
I thought they’d see the light
And that they’d change their minds
But they did not respond in kind

If the fate of the soul
Is beyond our control
Then nothing we do would matter
But if the chance that we take
Is a fatal mistake
We’re headed for real disaster
Let’s wind it all back
And start all over again
We’ll stay on track
If we’re not drowning in sin
Cause it’s not over yet for us

They tell me what I’ve done so far is grave, so they say
That there’s much more than your job that must be saved
Your very soul could be in danger
If I’ve led you astray
You’d pay the price
On judgement day
Not far away

Now I realize
There’s much that needs to change
We’ve got to reassess
Review and rearrange
There’s a simple step
I know I have to take
Given everything
That still remains at stake

I’m gonna pack my bags
So we can start anew
Don’t misunderstand
It doesn’t mean we’re through
But it’s something we gotta do

If the fate of the soul
Is beyond our control
Then nothing we do would matter
But if the chance that we take
Is a fatal mistake
We’re headed for real disaster
Let’s wind it all back
And start all over again
We’ll stay on track
If we’re not drowning in sin
Cause it’s not over yet for us
