[Intro]
0:00
Verse 1
0:26
I was standin’ on the edge tonight,
0:26
As reckless as I’ve been with life.
0:30
All my dreams had turned to dust,
0:34
Every hope, every fight.
0:37
I’d drifted down life’s winding stream,
0:40
Weary, sore, and worn.
0:44
Tired of chasing shadows
0:47
And the weight of every storm.
0:50
Pre-Chorus
0:53
I’ve tasted all the pleasures,
0:53
Scanned the world from end to end.
0:56
Felt the highs and felt the failures,
1:00
Thought there was nothing left to mend.
1:03
Chorus
1:07
But I stepped back from the water,
1:07
Left the shadow on the ground.
1:10
Even standing on eternity,
1:13
There’s still a way to turn it ‘round.
1:16
The night may feel unending,
1:20
But the dawn can still be found—
1:23
I stepped back from the water,
1:27
And I’m standing now, safe and sound.
1:30
Verse 2
1:47
I’d written my own verdict,
1:47
Judge and jury, all in me.
1:50
Said that life without its treasures
1:54
Was just foolish misery.
1:57
Thought they’d find me in the morning,
2:01
A story left untold,
2:04
But something whispered in the silence,
2:07
“Hold on, there’s more to unfold.”
2:11
Pre-Chorus
2:15
I’ve run the scale of living,
2:15
Sounded every single tone.
2:18
Felt the dark and felt the giving,
2:21
But I don’t have to be alone.
2:24
Chorus
2:28
I stepped back from the water,
2:28
Left the shadow on the ground.
2:31
Even standing on eternity,
2:34
There’s still a way to turn it ‘round.
2:38
The night may feel unending,
2:42
But the dawn can still be found—
2:45
I stepped back from the water,
2:48
And I’m standing now, safe and sound.
2:51
Bridge
3:08
The story’s old, the passion’s same,
3:08
Love and loss have called my name.
3:11
But even at the edge of night,
3:15
You can find the will to fight.
3:18
Final Chorus
3:25
I stepped back from the water,
3:26
Left the shadow on the ground.
3:28
Even standing on eternity,
3:32
There’s still a way to turn it ‘round.
3:35
The night may feel unending,
3:39
But the dawn can still be found—
3:42
I stepped back from the water,
3:45
And I’m standing now, safe and sound.
3:49
