Now Johnny took a trip to Brazil

To spread the truth, to preach what is real.

When he got back home he had such a fire,

But just a month later he lost his desire.

Now the world was calling, he couldn't miss out.

Closed his Bible and he started to doubt.

He ditched all his Christian friends

And he went back to the worldly trends.

He said, "Why can't we keep it?

Our quiet times and relationships?

Why do we fall away so fast?

We gotta fight the fight, day by day and night by night.

That's the only way we're going to last. We're gonna last."

Now all through the summer, Jill was for real.

Well, she had a fire that no one could steal.

And then school started. Got back to the clique,

Lost her faith so darn quick.

Well at first ya know she tried to keep it.

It was too hard she just couldn't do it.

Closed her Bible, went back to the crowd

As her quiet time fell to the ground.

She said "Why can't we keep it?

Our quiet times and relationships?

Why do we fall away so fast?

We gotta fight the fight, day by day and night by night.

That's the only way we're going to last. We're gonna last."

Can't warm ourselves with the crowd. Can't put our Bibles down.

Why can't we keep it? Our quiet times and relationships?

Why do we fall away so fast?

We gotta fight the fight, day by day and night by night.

That's the only way we're going to last
