On A Mission Lyrics

[Parody of Smash Mouth - All Star]

A Mormon once told me,
A very true story,
It made me think I wanna convert,
They were looking kinda tired,
Their Spirits were on fire,
And a black name tag on their dress shirts.

It's a great place,
When you're serving on a mission,
Sisters and Elders are teaching with ambition,
Cause the Spirit directs to the Elders it's true,
They pray and hope that they'll baptize you,
So much to do,
So much to see,
Converting people ain't that easy,
But you'll never know if you don't go,
And you'll never teach if you go home.

Hey you're,
On a mission,
Get your name tag, go pray,
Get on your bike now,
Give a Bible away,
All those words are true,
And we want to share them with you.

It's a mission,
They say people act colder,
The Spirit warms them up,
And then you grab hold of,
The scriptures that you're gonna teach from,
Knocking door to door,
Speaking to everyone.
The veil we have is sometimes pretty thin,
The waters staying warm for a Baptism,
My hearts on fire,
And how bout yours,
That's the way it should be when you pray to the Lord.

(Chorus)

*whistle solo*
(Go get your tag, go get your tag, go!)
(Go get your tag, go get your tag, go!)
(Go get your tag, go get your tag, go!)

(Chorus)

An Elder once asked,
If we were going too fast,
I said, keep going, I think I like this pace.
They could see, what they will be,
And, All discussions done,
Converted is he,
And we could all use a little grace,
It's a great place,
When you're serving on a mission,
Sisters and Elders are teaching with ambition,
Cause the spirit directs to the Elders it's true,
They pray and hope that they'll baptize you,
So much to do,
So much to see,
Converting people ain't that easy,
But you'll never know if you don't go,
And you'll never know if you go home.

(Chorus)

All those words are true,
And we want to share them with you
