We Are Youth!



We take the blunt of everyone's worst
Only to plaster on a smile
We'll seem to act our best
After all, we are youth
This is not new to us
Leave it to society
To market to us
Fiends of mediocrity
Spoon-feeding us what they think we need
What we can't live without
Girls are purging, guys are breaking down
Lives are shattered- divorces made
But we are youth
This is nothing new to us
Walking through the halls of 'I'm afraid'
Can't see clearly because of all the stares they make
Why does everything have to be this way?
I never wanted to be here anyway
I'm supposed to make the best of it (yeah, right)
Is life meant for me to cry every night?
Because I remember the days that I smiled bright
Long, long ago
But I am a youth
So I guess it's expected, huh?


Well, I must say....


Yes, we are youth
And we cry out loud
Shout at the top of our lungs
We want to be something
We want to be more than just a blip on the radar
We need to realize there's so much more than this
Alot of us are hurting
Some of us may not care
But it's time we call out to You, Jesus
It's long overdue
Our generations slowly dying
In more ways than one
Life is a burden
Carried on our backs
If we could only change that
Spiritual depravity, sexual immorality
Self-inflicted wounds
Relationships based on lust and sex
We are youth
Whose gonna save this generation?
Is it gonna be me? Is it gonna be you?
Either way- hold on tight now
'Cause we've got a very big job to do
