Lyrics
[Intro]
(Band drumbeat) 1, 2, 3, 4 Hit Me!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
[Verse 1]
Lead: Say it, say it!
1-2-3, let’s go!
Take your places; get at your station,
This ain't no truth or consequence commotion.
Feel the heat rising, the crowd’s electric,
This is real life, man, gotta be respected.
Step into the light, where dreams collide,
Fight for your spirit, let your heart be the guide.
A battle for your soul, no backing down,
Here to claim your crown, rise up from the ground.
[Chorus]
(CHOIR) This ain't no game show!
It's a battle for your life!
(CHOIR) Choose, this day, who you will serve!
[Verse 2]
Lead: Jesus, He's your savior; He's been waiting,
For you to make a choice, souls contemplating,
Life or death, the stakes are high,
Don’t let fear control you, look up to the sky.
Chains are breaking as you stand tall,
Strength in the struggle, rise above it all.
It’s a fight for mere existence; don’t let it slide,
With faith in your heart, no need to hide.
[Chorus]
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
[Bridge]
Lead: Say it, say it!
1-2-3, let’s go!
With every heartbeat, let’s redefine,
This life we’re living, the battle’s divine.
You choose your weapon; your voice is your might,
Raise it up higher, let it shine bright.
Stand firm in the chaos, don’t lose your grip,
Whether joy or sorrow, you must let it rip.
[Verse 3]
Lead: It’s time to declare, let the world know,
Power within you, it’s your time to show.
The doubts and the fears, leave behind the past,
Your destiny’s calling; you’re free at last.
Echoes of freedom, hear the angels sing,
Transformation’s real, and it’s yours for the taking.
With every syllable, let the truth unfold,
This life’s a treasure, let the story be told.
[Chorus]
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
(CHOIR) Get ready for a showdown!
[Outro]
Lead: So choose, this day; choose who you will serve.
Raise your voice, follow the path, have the nerve.
With fire in your belly and light in your eyes,
This is your moment; let it rise, let it rise!
(CHOIR) Choose, this day; choose who you will serve!
