The Edge

<p>Most of us will never know<br/>How dark this world can seem<br/>When life becomes more nightmare than a dream<br/>So to all of you who have survived<br/>A visit to the edge<br/>I trust that you will understand this pledge<br/><br/>I promise I will always leave<br/>The darkness for the light<br/>I swear by all that&#x27;s holy<br/>I will not give up the fight<br/>I&#x27;ll drink down death like water<br/>Before I ever come again<br/>To that dark place where I might make<br/>The choice for life to end<br/>I&#x27;ve found that as I travelled<br/>Through the inscape of my land<br/>That mountaintops make valleys in between<br/>And when that nameless sadness<br/>Like a cloud comes over me<br/>I look back on all the brightness I have seen<br/><br/>I promise I will always leave<br/>The darkness for the light<br/>I swear by all that&#x27;s holy<br/>I will not give up the fight<br/>I&#x27;ll drink down death like water<br/>Before I ever come again<br/>To that dark place where I might make<br/>The choice for life to end<br/><br/>I realize that though my world<br/>Might seem so torn apart<br/>Most often it is joy that breaks the heart<br/>And that I am the richest man<br/>Though I must beg for bread<br/>For the very One who might condemn<br/>Has called me friend instead<br/><br/>I promise I will always leave<br/>The darkness for the light<br/>I swear by all that&#x27;s holy<br/>I will not give up the fight<br/>I&#x27;ll drink down death like water<br/>Before I ever come again<br/>To that dark place where I might make<br/>The choice for life to end<br/>I will always leave the darkness for the light<br/>I will not give up the fight
