I may be totally out with this, but when I listen to it, it sounds like a rally call to young Christians out there to get their act together and pro-actively shine like lights in todays world.
"Our anthem rings, You'd know the truth if these walls could sing" - talking about the Gospel here? and rocks crying out when we dont? (Luke 19:40)
"Amateur youth, sling down those signs,
Gather the masses, friends of mine,
I've got your back if you've got my hand,
This isn't over, it just began" - feels to me like he's saying like were just young and we're amateurs but lets get together, all of us, and lets go cos its just begun, we're in it together and we need as many people as we can
"Remind your parents we're tomorrow
Lead with morals and we'll follow" - we're the future, and we got lead with a good example, Christ's example
"What are you waiting for?"
"Time is of essence"
"This is it"
all these speak of the urgency to get out there in the world and show Christ to our friends so they don't miss out
"We could take it all, if only we would risk,
You can be what you can conceive,
Red letters kill your disbelief" - red letters perhaps a reference to Red Letter Bibles, saying be encouraged and strengthened by Jesus' words and dont doubt what He can do thru us
"We all make mistakes sometimes
We all have failed where we stand tonight
Look past, learn, and move on
We're all here
You're not the only one" - saying once again we're in it together, we all get our walk with Christ wrong, but get up, learn and move on when we fall down
i'm not sure how Audrey fits into all of this but meh.. :)

I completely agree with you, theyell4. That's what I always thought this song was about [that's why I love it so much XDD ]
