I've been here before, it's all I've ever known Looking for the face that I am Where do I go? All that's in my sight Are darkened dreams of empty lies Hope is there it is waiting it is real You are only what you want to feel I can see your eyes and they are asking We're a new hope generation We can see the wasted lives in your faces But we can see Messiah rise in these places Until the tears are gone We're a new hope generation We can see the wasted lives in your faces But we can see Messiah rise in these places Until the tears are gone I've seen you before, you're always on your face Trying to find the traces left Hungry and tired, waiting for your needs Just hold him close, he won't ever let you go Hope is there it is waiting it is real You are only what you want to feel I can see your eyes and they are asking We're a new hope generation We can see the wasted lives in your faces But we can see Messiah rise in these places Until the tears are gone We're a new hope generation We can see the wasted lives in your faces But we can see Messiah rise in these places Until the tears are gone Open, open arms Open arms let your spirit Open, open arms Open arms let your spirit pour Here's the call to anyone at all Who's ever had the rise right after a fall It's revolutional when they come like this They can't believe we're living representatives It gives light unto the gen X and Y Resolution with no generic reply I stand aside a genre that's on a tear Broken chains explain that we are almost there We're a new hope generation We can see the wasted lives in your faces We can see Messiah rise in these places Until the tears are gone We're a new hope generation We can see the wasted lives in your faces We can see Messiah rise in these places Until the tears are gone You think I will throw away but I don't care what you say 'Cause the one you pushed aside, will rule one day You can not sway a unified youth nation So where's my anointed now generation
