	Story Behind the Song My friend Shawn and I were inspired/encouraged/motivated about doing our best for God and changing the Christian youth attitude towards Christianity into a more real and from the heart attitude. We felt inspired by God to write a song about it. But not just any everyday song. A powerful and life-changing impacting anthem that will change the way the young people of this generation think about God and life and Christianity etc. Written by young people, for young people. It's based on the book of Joel and the 2nd chapter. It describes a country being barren and without hope, but if we will only humble ourselves and give our lives to God he can change us forever and he will heal our 'land', as the book says, meaning, taking away all our sins and giving us a hope to live for eternity with Him where there is no sadness or pain. This song is directly from the heart. A life-changing commitment message and pure worship to God. Hallelujah!! This song was recorded in about 14 hours (5:00 PM to 7:00 AM roughly). Lyrics Verse 1: Like a match burns away the darkness Like a ship is guided by the lighthouse Like the river runs to the sea We are following You And we're coming alive Like the tide is directed by the moon Like an eagle spreads it's wings to fly Chorus: I can soar with You if You'll shine through Because You are the light and we are alive We are a generation that's on the rise And we are alive Verse 2: Like the desert longs for the rain to fall Like a warrior longs for the battle call Like the hungry cry for their food Our hearts are empty, Lord And we're desperate for you Oh Lord, to You we will cry Because our fields are barren and the well is dry Chorus: I can soar with You if You'll shine through Becase You are the light and we are alive We are a generation that's on the rise And we are alive We are the generation that won't compromise Because we are alive We'll lay down our lives Because we are alive Copyright Shine White & Brandon Blume 2001
