Flash Lyrics by Midnight Youth

The Brave Don’t Run

2009

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

Oh, and 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

'Cause it's true
Yes, it's true
Oh, it's true
I love you
