Jay Ducharme - The Light That Burns the Brightest

I haven't been around very long
Always felt the need to come on strong
Pushed myself beyond the crowds
Who couldn't see the sun behind the clouds
Now that I know I'm fading fast
Stunned how soon my time has passed
The knowledge sinks in like a long dull knife
And I find myself desperately clinging to life
But the light that burns the brightest quickly dies
With so much more to do that time denies
Before it all goes dark
I want to leave my mark
And send my spirit soaring through the skies
Somehow always thought that I'd endure
Now it's much too late to find a cure
Lost my friends one by one
Never thought I'd end up so alone
But the light that burns the brightest quickly dies
With so much more to do that time denies
Before it all goes dark
I want to leave my mark
And send my spirit soaring through the skies
The memories of all I've done
The treasured thoughts of all I've seen
All my dreams will soon be gone
As if they'd never been
Years pass in moments
Blurring my sight
Clouds fill the heavens
Rain fills the night
Not even my creator can correct what's wrong
I haven't been around very long
