Flash-Midnight Youth
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 rotted burnt
Then I think of you and all is bright
a flash among the burn
But it's tough when God comes crashing in
to keep your soul at rest
And it's tough to do this growing up
when delivered such a test
But we fight and strive to live the life
that you had hoped to lead
And we're drinking in your honor
even though you'll never leave us
Cos it's true
Yes it's true
Oh it's true
I love you
