Verse 1 
Jake was a Christian from a Christian school 
His life began to change as he entered public school 
He thought it would be fun, but instead it was cruel 
He didn't think the stuff going on was very cool 
It seemed okay as the first month went by 
But time went on, he watched as people died 
He felt his Christian dignity start to subside 
As they constantly tried to make him want to hide 

Pre-Chorus 1 
All they did was lied and try to misguide 
And all he could do was just attempt to abide 
But the pressure just got stronger 
And the pain just lasted longer 
The hurt was unbearable 
And his life was just terrible 

Chorus 
We've gotta stand up and form a vocation 
We've gotta reform this dying generation 
Resist the temptations and restore the foundations 
Killing all the lies from these misinterpretations

Verse 2 
All the drugs and the violence, Jake had no clue 
Of what in the world he could do 
The ways of his school were so much different from his 
He didn't want to stand out, his life was being quizzed 
There'd never been a time like this in his life 
But now he had to give up everything and fight 
No matter what, he wasn't going to give into their ways 
'Cause he knew that in the end, they would all have to pay 

Pre-Chorus 2 
All they did was lied and try to misguide 
And all he could do was just attempt to abide 
But the pressure just got stronger 
And the pain just lasted longer 
The hurt was unbearable 
But God made it repairable 

Chorus 
We've gotta stand up and form a vocation 
We've gotta reform this dying generation 
Resist the temptations and restore the foundations 
Killing all the lies from these misinterpretations 
x2 

Bridge 
The world wasn't always this Satanically twisted 
But, because of the world, righteous ways were not persisted 
This generation transformed these truths to fiction 
All these addictions have caused so much affliction 
As Christians, we need to stand and lead an example 
And repair the things which the devil has trampled 
Restore the world's values to what they used to be 
And save this dying generation so it can be free

Chorus 
We've gotta stand up and form a vocation 
We've gotta reform this dying generation 
Resist the temptations and restore the foundations 
Killing all the lies from these misinterpretations
