Flashback

I had a flashback once It tipped the Richter scale Almost right at nine It took control of me Before I knew the war was on You didn't see my mind You only heard my fist Trying to be kind Help me find my soul Hylda wants my heart To hang it on the wall Help me get it back I had a flashback once It took me by surprise Next thing you were smiling A sparkle in your eye Next thing we were dancing Kissing and romancing Next thing we were falling Falling to the sky Now I'm falling straight into A streaming fire of blue Fountain for a flood of passion Falling hard for you Was I falling for them Or falling down into them Was I falling helplessly Into a sky of blue We'll never know I never dreamed that part I never dreamed the part about Your mother and your dad Next thing we were falling Falling in and out You saved me, I was drowning Shadow of a doubt Don't forget to breathe Don't bet on thirteen Never let it go Listen to your dream Lay it on the line A diamond or a spade Never let your color Show another shade Never let your sorrow Over take your heart Dedicate your legend Rising to the part Help me get it half way there And get it half way square That or get it back to here And carry on from there Listen to your mother Try to find your brother Try to find your sister Your children one another Surpass until they're grown Children of their own Character in each Friendliness to teach Exceeding expectation Defeating all demand Outshine every means of light A kind and gentle hand
