This song just goes along with what I've been thinking
about lately and about how our generation lives.
Have a vision and pursue it, don't worry about anybody else.
Follow his path.

Bethany Dillon - Revolutionaries

Many have traveled this road before
I see their tracks in the dirt
But maybe I don’t agree
With where they are leading
And who am I, just a youth
But why has that become the excuse
A monotone voice
In my head saying

Dreaming all the time
It’s so foolish
Your flood of empty words
Will drown you in ruin
So we listen
Should we listen

They shake their heads
As they drive away in the bandwagon
Didn’t feel like hitching a ride
Oh, but I’ll be fine
Some nights it’s hard to be alone
I want some kind of kinship
But the finish line
It drives me on
When they say

Dreaming all the time
It’s so foolish
Your flood of empty words
Will drown you in ruin
So we listen
Should we listen

Come with me
They’ll call us revolutionaries
Come with me
They’ll call us revolutionaries

Dreaming all the time
It’s not foolish
Your flood of life giving words
They will refresh
Should we listen
Revolutionaries

I just need to get a few things off of my chest. I look around at some of my peers and I am shocked by their behavior. They complain because they don't have any freedom and nobody cares about what they have to say, but their actions are embarrassing. Just because you think you're old enough, that doesn't mean that you need to go around yelling profanity or being loud just to try and look important. This only gets unwanted attention. And I don't understand why people run around getting into one irresponsible relationship after another. Being in these kinds of relationships doesn't make you look like a grown-up, it makes you look stupid and I have pity for you. You want to be taken seriously, so take action. Be a responsible adult and have enough respect for yourself to wait for the right person to come along. I'm sorry if I sound like one of your parents right now, but this drives me insane. It makes our generation look bad, it's no wonder older generations looks down on us. I have more to say, but I'm in a hurry, so I hope this makes sense.

So next time you find yourself complaining because you're young and you don't get any respect, read this verse and live it as well:

1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in PURITY."

Give people a good reason to talk about you. Live a radical life, you won't regret it.

(And by no means do I think that I am perfect. I have my faults too. Believe me)
