LIFE ON THE EDGE
I open my eyes,
To face another day.
I start to struggle,
Who will I obey?
Temptation surrounds me,
Trying to resist.
I may end up winning,
Or end up caving in!
CHORUS 1:
This is life on the edge
Tell me I'm meant for more than this.
I get closer,
and closer to regret.
Won't someone pull me in,
From living on the edge?
Conviction comes easy,
Never seems to stay.
Avoiding my family,
I wonder what they'd say,
If they knew the endless circles I have run?
Would Mom and Dad still love me,
No matter what I've done?
CHORUS 1
BRIDGE:
So I pray to God,
With nothing left to lose.
But I've spent my heart,
And now I have to choose
Between this madness,
Or a second chance.
The future won't be easy,
But neither was my past!
CHORUS 2:
This is life on the edge.
Yes, I'm meant for more than this.
I move farther,
And farther from regret;
And God pulls me in...
This is life on the edge.
Yes, I'm meant for more than this.
I move farther,
And farther from regret.
And God pulls me in,
From livin' on the edge.
