lyrics

Standing on the edge of the best or the rest of my time
Waiting for a murmur or a hint of a sign
Tears will come before the end
But I’ll try minimise the surprise, the consequences unseen
That I know are real waiting round the corner with a weight I can feel.
It seems from here that the way is clear but what is hidden? You know what I fear.
Sure feet but no direction; no lights no lines at the intersection.
I have what it takes to illuminate but I cannot understate the height of the stakes
or underestimate the effort you make
so I will find my own way each day and no matter what they may say the best is ahead.

Anticipation’s all we know
and it’s building up, I’m ready to explode.
So we have to make the most of this season,
‘cause the winds can change without reason.
No time to rest or take it slow
I don’t wanna grow old without something to show
so tell me what you think and what you see
‘cause I believe that we’ve already been freed
With everything that we need
With every motion and scheme
With every notion of the things that we might do to succeed -
But fate or chance could yet intervene.

Still, in the face of it all
We can never lose sight
Of how our lives are endowed
Soaked in perennial light
And when I look down at the firm ground and my surrounds, there is hope something will grow; we will grow.

Standing on the edge of a precipice hoping for the best as I guess at the way to proceed.
So many paths, so little idea of a normal life and a wasted dream.
But fall or flight, be in it for life –
whatever comes I will cherish the ride and sing
into the sky if nobody will listen
I will find my own way each day and no matter what they may say the best is ahead.
