Back from the Edge

about

A song about love, a song about redemption, a song about a person, a song about spirit

lyrics

In my time I’ve had some pain and sorrow
I’ve struggled hard against the common flow
I’ve laughed and cried and dreaded each tomorrow
Hated life and didn’t want to know.

I’ve roamed the night in search of inspiration
Risked my life in search of peace and love
Felt the fire of hatred slash across me
Felt the anger wash down from above

You pulled me back from the edge
Though the yawning chasm beckoned me
You pulled me back from the edge
Lulled me to sleep and set me free

They say that we must suffer to be beautiful
But beauty isn’t worth the price some pay
They say that we must live for our art alone
It’s not enough, no matter what they say

You pulled me back from the edge
Though the brink of disaster beckoned me
You pulled me back from the edge
Lulled me to sleep and set me free

In you I’ve found the peace I thought denied me
From you I get the strength that guides me on
The thought of trying without you beside me
Brings me to the end of this song
