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
