Michael Ketterer's 'Golden Youth' is a passionate anthem for a generation seeking hope and purpose. The song acknowledges personal struggles and the pain of believing in a broken world, yet it turns to God as the ultimate healer and source of peace. It celebrates unity in diversity and the power of faith, declaring that nothing is impossible with God. The repeated refrain of being the 'golden youth' crying out to God and rising hope captures a spirit of resilience and trust. The lyrics reference the blood spilled and rolling stones away, subtly pointing to Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, while the overall message is one of encouragement and belief in God's power.

I've wasted my time again
When You're the only One who can mend
A cut like this, a cut like this
We tried to love when it really hurts
But religion just seems to make it worse
Who are my friends? Who are my friends?
All of time tells
Creation yells
The blood was spilt
A generation finds its voice
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're the golden youth
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're crying out to You
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Our hope is rising
And I've been wounded in my city streets
Oh, I've been beaten for what I believe
Lord, grant us peace
Lord, grant us peace
And I believe in a family
Our differences make us strong
We roll the stones away
We can roll the stones away
All of time tells
Creation yells
The blood was spilt
A generation finds its voice
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're the golden youth
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're crying out to You
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Our hope is rising
We believe in the power of Your name
We believe that You hold the keys that change
We believe that there's nothing You can't do
We believe in You
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're the golden youth
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're crying out to You
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Our hope is rising
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're the golden youth
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're crying out to You
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Our hope is rising
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
We're the golden youth
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
