WHEN YOU’RE NEAR THE EDGE
The line was drawn
The swords were crossed
Your words were worse
They made you the boss
But you shouldn’t step on to the ledge
When you’re near the edge
The night was long
And the moon was round
My pride was hurt
But it came around
But you shouldn’t step on to the ledge
When you’re near the edge
How you turn out
Might be coincidence
But you might be stronger
If you have to work on it
But you shouldn’t step on to the ledge
When you’re near the edge
All that you are
(and it do add up)
Is what you do
Just don’t depend on luck
But you shouldn’t step on to the ledge
When you’re near the edge
