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
