[Verse 1]
The signal over the exit glows
Beneath the cracked church door
Dust on the pews, boots on the floor
And I can feel it in my bones
Sunday suit, tie too tight
Hands up, heart half-broke
You said it plain, no room for smoke
Now I’m stepping into the night
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world is waiting
I won’t keep it waiting
If the gate is open
I’m coming through
[Chorus]
You are now entering the mission field
So start living that, rock
You are now entering the mission field
No time to sit and talk
(rock) (rock)
We go where the broken are
(rock) (rock)
We burn like a front-porch spark
[Verse 2]
Outside, the parking lot’s still hot
A rusted bus, a hungry road
Single mothers, truck-stop souls
Heavy rain on a yellow coat
I got a name, I got a call
I got dirt on my hands
Not a trophy on a shelf to hold
But a fire I can stand
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world is waiting
I won’t keep it waiting
If the gate is open
I’m coming through
[Chorus]
You are now entering the mission field
So start living that, rock
You are now entering the mission field
No time to sit and talk
(rock) (rock)
We go where the broken are
(rock) (rock)
We burn like a front-porch spark
[Bridge]
Carry the water
Carry the light
Walk into hard places
And don’t look back tonight
Carry the water
Carry the light
We’re not here for comfort
We’re here to come alive
[Final Chorus]
You are now entering the mission field
So start living that, rock
You are now entering the mission field
No time to sit and talk
(rock) (rock)
We go where the broken are
(rock) (rock)
We burn like a front-porch spark
You are now entering the mission field
So start living that, rock
