Beat the clock make your mark or stay lost in the dark

Hey ladies and gents. Kids of all ages. It’s time to play Beat The Clock and make your mark for all time. And this is the game where the stakes are high, the prizes are free, and losers never get another chance. Are you ready? Let’s Play!   But remember Beat The Clock doesn’t mean you’ll Beat The World. If history teaches you anything, and for most people it doesn’t, it’s that you can’t beat the world. Because the deck is stacked against you. And all the other players are waiting for you to mess up so they can use your head for a springboard to their next move. Yes, it’s an exciting game. But it can be a little vindictive and vicious. So what. Right? Just remember to get your points while the gettin’s good. Don’t look back. Unless it’s to see who you left in the dirt. Alright! Enough of the pre-game pep talk and list of rules…as if there are any. And now, roll that theme song… Beat The World (and clock) Every time you turn your back There’s somebody there to pick your pockets And so you see there’s more to life More than love and rockets Deal with reality the best that you can Try to remember there’s a higher plan That’s the only way to beat the world at its own game Yeah…every time you make your mark There’s somebody there to erase it And people say that’s just the way it is And boy you’d better face it But you believe there’s gonna be a better day, So you pray for strength and better words to say That’s the only way to beat the world at its own game C’mon and beat the world, and try to leave a dent But don’t regret the time that you’ve spent C’mon and beat the world, and try to leave a bruise You need to know the life that you choose Is gonna beat the world… Every time you see the morning news They talk about another killing It’s beyond my power to comprehend How the taking of life could be thrilling Banish the dark side; live in God’s light Rise and shine and you can win this fight That’s the only way to beat the world at its own game Oh, can you imagine”if we were all serving the True God, Would we still be living this way?
