[VERSE 1] I see the youth in a rushing tide Too many voices pulling them aside Every turn feels like open doors But not every road leads to something more So we speak with a steady hand Try to guide them to understand There’s a narrow path through the noise and flame And it’s written in a higher name ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] “Train up a child in the way they should go” And even when winds of the world may blow They won’t forget what they were shown Even when they walk alone ⸻ [CHORUS] We are called to light the way Through the night into brighter days Not every path that shines is gold Not every story the world will hold So teach them truth, let it run deep Like seeds that the Father keeps On the straight and narrow we must lead For the ones who come after me ⸻ [VERSE 2] Every choice is a turning point Every soul is a sacred joint Between what is lost and what is true Between what they hear and what they do So we speak with a patient heart Try to guide them before they start Down roads that only break and bend When there’s grace that never ends ⸻ [BRIDGE (scripture tone, atmospheric)] “Enter ye in at the straight gate…” For wide is the road that leads to Hell But few will find the path of life Through truth, through love, through sacrifice ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS (bigger, more emotional)] We are called to light the way Through the dark into brighter days Not every voice deserves control Not every path will save the soul So teach them truth, let it run deep Like seeds that the Father keeps On the straight and narrow we must lead For the ones who come after me For the ones who come after me
