Underdog
I am so weak and I'm so tired
It's hard for me to
Find enough strength to feed the fires
That fuel my ego
And consequently all my pride has all but died
Which leaves me down on my knees
Back to the place I should have started from
Been beat up, been broken down
Nowhere but up when you're facedown on the ground
I'm in last place, if I place at all
But there's hope for this underdog
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
You call me the underdog
I'm in this race to win a prize
The odds against me
The world has plans for my demise
But what they don't see
Is that a winner is not judged by his small size
But by the substitute he picks to run the race
And mine's already won
Been beat up, been broken down
Nowhere but up when you're facedown on the ground
I'm in last place, if I place at all
But there's hope for this underdog
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
Underdog, I wince everytime I say the word
Especially in connection with Jesus
Yet as I read the birth stories about Jesus
I've been beat up, I've been broken down
Nowhere but up when you're facedown on the ground
I'm in last place, if I place at all
But there's hope for this underdog
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, we like it
That's the way, that's the way
That's the way, that's the way
We like it
