There's a fire that burns in a young man's heart (Ps. 42:1-2)
There's a raging storm in his soul
He's tired of hearing the unborn cry (Pr. 24:11-12)
But what can he do alone'
He can raise the voice of injustice (Pr. 29:7)
He can join in the victor's band (Ro. 8:37-39)
Stand, stand up and be counted (Eph. 6:13-18)
Stand, stand up and be counted (Gal. 5:1)
Stand, stand up and be counted (1 Cor. 15:58)
Stand, stand up and be counted (1 Cor. 16:13)
He's not loud, he doesn't want to stand out (Jas. 4:4-8)
He works real hard to fit in
He can feel the pain of the breaking hearts
Torn in two by the sin (Ps. 34:18)
On the one hand he wants to be wanted
That's not what his conscience demands (Ro. 2:13-15)
And the blood of the Prophets screams out (Rev. 6:9-11)
From injustice of days gone by
They died in the streets to set prisoners free (Heb. 11:32-12:2)
Prisoners like you and like me
Original Bible Study Questions from the liner notes:

2. The Holy Spirit makes us uncomfortable when we say we believe one thing but then do something (or nothing) different. How can we learn to lead consistent Christian lives'
