| Now Johnny took a trip to Brazil |
| Dm | |
| To spread the truth, to preach what is real. |
| Bb | |
| When he got back home he had such a fire, |
| C | |
| But just a month later he lost his desire. |
| F | |
| Now the world was calling, he couldn't miss out. |
| Dm | |
| Closed his Bible and he started to doubt. |
| Bb | |
| He ditched all his Christian friends |
| C | |
| And he went back to the worldly trends. |
| CHORUS |
| Dm | Bb | |
| He said, "Why | can't we keep it? |
| F | C | |
| Our quiet times | and relationships? |
| Dm | Bb | F | C | |
| Why do we | fall away so | fa | st? |
| Dm | Bb | F | C | |
| We gotta | fight the fight, | day by day and | night by night. |
| Dm | Bb | F | C | |
| That's the | only way we're | going to | last. We're gonna last." |

| Now all through the summer, Jill was for real. |
| Dm | |
| Well, she had a fire that no one could steal. |
| Bb | |
| And then school started. Got back to the clique, |
| C | |
| Lost her faith so darn quick. |
| F | |
| Well at first ya know she tried to keep it. |
| Dm | |
| It was too hard she just couldn't do it. |
| Bb | |
| Closed her Bible, went back to the crowd |
| C | |
| As her quiet time fell to the ground. |
| CHORUS |
| F | C | Dm | Bb | F | |
| Can't warm | ourselves with the | crowd. Can't put our | Bibles | down. |
