We Are the Young

I have written to you young men
Because you are strong
God's Word lives in you
And you have overcome the evil one

We are strong
We are young
We are strong

We are the young
We are the strong
Standing right
Not for wrong
'Cause we need some light
In this world we're livin' in
(We are the young)
We are the young
We are the strong
Hear our voice
You gotta hear our song
'Causе we need some joy
In this world we'rе livin' in
(We are the young)

Drugs are on the rampage
Kids are on the call
Suicide is rising
Education's on the fall
What's a kid to do
In the world so cruel and mean
Be a teenage alcoholic
Or a mother at fifteen

These are the guns we're under
These are the things that plunder
The lives of our young
This is not what was intended
Let the prophecy come true
And the lies be ended

We are the young
We are the strong
Standing right
And we're not standing for wrong
Gonna bring some light
To this world we're livin' in
(We are the young)
I said, we are the young
You know we are the strong
Gotta hear our voice
You gotta hear our song
Gonna bring some joy
To this world we're livin' in
(We are the young)

The world is coming down
Upon this generation
Because of sin piled on top of past sin
But the youth of the world
Has a sure salvation
There is a Hope for every man

We have been chosen for battle
We've been ordained
To bring life back into our land
Let all the young come together
And be anointed by the power
Of God's own hand

We are the young
We are the strong
Standing right
And we're not takin' wrong, no
(Not for wrong)
'Cause we need some light
In this world we're livin' in
(We are the young)
I said that we are the young
You know that we are the strong
Gotta hear our voice
Oh, you gotta hear our song
'Cause we need some joy
In this world we're livin' in
(We are the young)

Hit me, hit me, please!
Hit me, hit me, please!
Hit me, please! Hit me!

We have been chosen for battle
We've been ordained
To bring life back into our land
Let all the young come together
And be anointed by the power
Of God's own hand

Gonna bring some light
To this world we're livin' in

We are the young
You know that we are the strong
I said, we're standing right
Not gonna stand for wrong, no
(Not for wrong)
Gonna bring some light
To this world we're livin' in
(We are the young)
I said that we are the young
I said that we are the strong
Gotta hear our voice
Whoa, gotta hear our song
Ooh-ooh...
Gonna bring some joy
To this world we're livin' in
