Quick as a Flash

And did you walk alone down the city Streets? And did your heart race and never miss a Beat? But they laughed at you and all of your Words. They couldn't see all the beauty There. They didn't even think to treat you Fair. I couldn't believe that no one Cared. All the secrets you tried to Share. And as your mind turns into Ash, your life passed as Quick as a flash. But now they need you and all the things You gave, but they can't reach you from Beyond the grave. They said you looked just like an Adolescent. All of the things you spoke they couldn't Understand. They couldn't see that they were so Absurd. And when you passed away, so few Grieved. They never realized what you had Achieved. Their minds were closed and never looked Ahead. They couldn't see all the beauty There. They didn't even think to treat you Fair. I couldn't believe that no one Cared. All the secrets you tried to Share. And as your mind turns into Ash, your life passed as Quick as a flash. But now they need you and all the things You gave, but they can't reach you from Beyond the grave. How your heart was so proud and Strong. Your voice couldn't be quiet for so Long. A wiser man has never Lived. All of the things that you had to say Were never heard until this Day. Will they recall? Will they give a damn? They couldn't see all the beauty There. They didn't think to even treat you Fair. I couldn't believe that no one Cared. All the secrets you tried to Share. And as your mind turns into Ash, your life passed as Quick as a flash. But now they need you and all the things You gave, but they can't reach you from Beyond the grave. I couldn't believe that no one Cared. All the secrets you tried to Share. And as your mind turns into Ash, your life passed as Quick as a flash. But now they need you and all the things You gave, but they can't reach you from Beyond the grave.
