Sometimes it hits me from out of the blue
I wonder I worry I can’t think it through
I take a deep breath, mind over matter
But it’s still there, can’t make it better
I try and disguise it, cover it up
I can’t even describe it, I’ve given up
It feels like darkness and doubt and fear
It feels empty like the end is near
And when I get to feeling this way
I stretch my fists up to the sky and I say
I am the flash of a burning star
You’ll never break me
They spent most of their lives living apart
Over years and miles they knew from the start
That under a full moon on a gypsy night
Fate would find them and make it right
He said
Don’t get to know me she has no regrets
His heart was so big he left pieces of it
Their love was the flash of a burning star
You’ll never break it
We are the earth, we are the sea
We are the sky we are the trees
We are love we are stars
flashes of light that’s all we are
She is beautiful, painful and sweet
Life can be hard, she aint for the weak
full of surprises, she’s full of joy
