[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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."

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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."

We're gonna last

[Bridge]

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

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

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

Down, Bibles down, down

[Chorus]

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
