about

Generation me - a term that was coined referring to people born in the 70s, 80s, 90s and into the turn of the century. Standing on the shoulders of those coming from world war II and following, we were once predicted to be the most successful, generous, helpful generation yet. But what happened was the opposite. "Generation Me" is known to look for ourselves than justice. We are known as lazier and more pampered than anyone before, and expect big results without big sacrifice.
Many things contributed to this turn of events, but much as to do with technology, our use of it, media, education, and the fact that without a perfect leader who will show us how to use our gifts, talents and resources perfectly, we won't end where we want to.
Jesus is the one who will save this generation, and the next, and the next, and the next. Without a selfless leader, we will continue to walk in the shadow of this reputation, and become short - sighted, not walking into the full destiny He has planned for us.

lyrics

I wanna be what everybody looks like just like me //as long as i look right we just wanna be//We wanna be the mode and the motto//We don't wanna be the cold or the thawed out we just wanna be//We gonna drive till it drives us insane //We never heard of an end to this game //So, we just gonna run//Let the wind blow, let's float like it told us//We gonna bend and bow let it fold us//We are just gonna be//

We're the kids with no reason//We're the adults out of season crying out//There must be something crying for me//

We were the ones that were titled purpose//We were the ones that never heard this//wouldn't we shouldn't we be the model for the years to follow//One heart, one love, one mind//That's our motto, as we leave this world behind//Cause our hands can't give what they don't hold//They wanna see change but they fall to folding//We just wanna be//Receive your sight//Look beyond the stars//See the hands behind//That move for you and I....

All ya'll kids got a purpose//All you adults, it is worth it//I hear something crying back for you...

The moment we pass they'll know we're there//Because even our shadow will change the air//We just gotta be//Do you believe, do you believe //That all you ever wanted is to be set free?//You're not your failure, or your shame//You're not a sick kid left in the rain, I want you to know//Don't let the name game let the name reign//I declare and I proclaim that we
are more than//Me
