Say Yes
Embrace Life's Invitations with "Say Yes" by The Bennett Hall Band
Lyrics
The days are getting shorter
The duration of days is diminishing.
Time is just a lie
Time is a deceptive concept.
The years pass like an old friend on the sidewalk runnin' by
Years pass swiftly, akin to an old friend on the sidewalk.
Too busy to lend a hand
Being occupied, too preoccupied to offer assistance.
No time to stop and smile
No time to pause and express joy.
We're livin' life to win the race
We're focused on winning the race of life.
But, never willin' to go the extra mile
Reluctant to go beyond the necessary effort.
One day it'll all be over
An acknowledgment that life will eventually end.
All the bright lights will go out
Anticipating the extinguishing of bright lights.
They'll be nothin' left to wish for
There will be nothing left to desire.
Nothin' left to dream about
No remaining dreams to aspire to.
So before you miss your life
Advice to cherish life before it's missed.
Tryin' to outsmart death
Caution against trying to outsmart death.
Say yes
Emphasizing the importance of saying yes.
When that job you've worked your life for
A scenario where a desired job unexpectedly presents itself.
Falls right in your lap
When the love one has always envisioned is offered.
When the love you've always dreamed of
A moment when a father visits without prior notice.
Get's the nerve to ask
Encouragement to accept and enjoy these moments.
When your daddy drops by unannounced
Reflecting on the transient nature of life.
Just to sit and chat
Anticipation of a time when wishes and dreams fade.
One day it'll all be over
Reiteration that life will conclude.
All the bright lights will go out
Expectation of the extinguishing of bright lights.
They'll be nothin' left to wish for
Nothing will remain to desire.
Nothin' left to dream about
No dreams left to pursue.
So before you miss your life
Warning against missing out on life while attempting to evade death.
Tryin' to outsmart death
Encouragement to embrace life by saying yes.
Say yes
A repeated emphasis on the importance of saying yes.
When your baby boy comes askin'
A scenario where a parent is asked to play by their child.
If you have time to play
A moment when the preacher advocates following Jesus.
When the preacher tells you Jesus
An unequivocal endorsement to say yes to such guidance.
Is the only way
A final call to affirmatively say yes.
Say yes
Explicitly urging to say yes to the message of Jesus.
Say yes
A final reinforcement of the importance of saying yes.
