Edge of Eternity

Twilight befalls my troubled mind

I lay unmoving at your feet

I wait for a sign so grandiose

Are your words unheard in my defeat?

I still want to hear what I want to hear

But I need to hear what I need

Will your promises carry me tonight?

Lifting me high as the world drags me down

A willing puppet on a string

The strings are in your hands

I confess I’m afraid you’ll jerk me around

I’m so tired of trying again

Will you walk with me tonight?

Through this darkness, through this valley

Lead me to the light

I fear I’ll never hear what I want to hear

But I’m more afraid of what I need

Will your promises carry me tonight?

Lifting me high as the world drags me down

Just a puppet on a string

The strings are in your hands

And I’m afraid of what you’re going to do now

As I dance on the edge of eternity

Echoes of forever are stirred with each step

And as I dance I can see you at my journey’s end

But I don’t know how to get there yet

Redeem my past

Secure my future

But just don’t leave me here

If I must stay then please dance with me

How long must I

Learn these steps?

Just help me make it through

Make it through just one more day

Of dancing

Of dancing

Of dancing

Near eternity
