It's hard, in a flash, to let you go It's hard, in a flash, to let you go When we were young we were told, that we could just be boys and let our dreams unfold And as we grew we lived a sheltered life, a modern life that let us run and play But it's tough when God comes crashing in, to keep your soul at peace And It's tough to do this growing up, when driven to your knees And it's hard, in a flash, to let you go Oh, it's hard, in a flash, to let you go
Playing songs of the past, Sharing the meals we would share is how we deal With the sheathing of our skin, and the thought that we could win against all odds When it's tough when God comes crashing in, to set your soul on fire And it's tough to keep this love alive, when stripped of your desire When the filaments behind my eyes, are rusted, rotten, burnt Then I think of you and all is bright, a flash among the burn
