DANCING ON THE EDGE OF DOOM

CAN YOU REALLY SEE

THROUGH ALL THE GLOOM

WILL WE EVEN BE HERE

WHEN TOMORROW COMES

THEY ALL TURNED THEIR BACKS ON US

HID THEIR HEADS

BEYOND THE FACTS

I DON'T GET THE DISCONNECT

ARE YOU READY

FOR WHAT COMES NEXT

 

CHORUS

DO YOU EVEN KNOW

HOW ALL THIS

IS SUPPOSED TO GO

I HOPE WE ALL MAKE IT

BUT I HAVE SO MANY DOUBTS

WHEN DARKNESS FALLS

UPON THE SUN

THE DAY IS ALMOST DONE

GHOST MOON

IN A POISON SKY

ITS HARD TO SAY

WHEN OR WHY

WE PUT OUR TRUST

IN LESSER MEN

WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS

AGAIN AND AGAIN

IT NEVER SEEMS TO SINK IN

TOMORROWS STILL BY CHANCE

LET ME POINT YOU

TO THE LIGHT

THE CLOSER YOU GET

THE MORE THAT YOU MIGHT

SEE YOUR WAY FREE

SAY GOODBYE TO ME

FACE REALITY

EASY DOWN EASY DONE

IS ANYBODY THERE AT ALL

COME ON NOWS THE TIME

ITS YOUR CALL

 

OUT THERE IN THE SUN

 

OUT THERE IN THE SUN

SPENT SO MUCH TIME

TRYING TO FIND

MISSING PIECES

FLYING BLIND

UNDECIDED

SO TRYING

COMING UP EMPTY

WINDING UP ALONE

 NOTHING SLOWED

 THE TIME LIKE IT 

THAT I'D WANT TO OWN

 

ALL I WANTED WAS A STAR

LOVE LIKE YOU ARE

HOW IS IT

THAT I'M TO KNOW

IF SHE'S NEAR OR FAR

SOMEWHERE

INSIDE A NEW DAY

OUT THERE IN THE SUN

SHE'S WAITING

WANTING THE SAME

 

NOW IF I ONLY KNEW

WHERE THAT SOMEWHERE WAS

I WOULD LOOK

DEEP INTO HER EYES

I WOULD RECOGNIZE

ALL HER LOVE

MEANT FOR ME

IN SOME HIGHER PLACE

A REAL ACE

BESIDE ME

 

ALL THAT'S LEFT UNSAID

CAN WAIT

SEEMS YOU ALREADY KNOW

ITS STARTING TO SHOW

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

I'M HOLDING OUT

WAITING FOR THE DAY

I'M LISTENING

BECAUSE I'M SURE

YOU'VE GOT

 SOMETHING TO SAY 

THAT I WANT TO HEAR

SOMEWHERE

 INSIDE A NEW DAY

OUT THERE IN THE SUN

 

 

ALL THAT I FEEL

 

ALL THAT I FEEL

EVERY WISH

EACH DREAM

THE ONES I'VE  SEEN

ALL THE ONES

THAT DIDN'T QUITE

 MAKE IT 

THE ONES THAT

SHOOK ME TO MY CORE

GAVE ME PAUSE

EXAMINE THE CAUSE

FROM EVERY ANGLE

BEFORE I SET OUT AGAIN

 

OUT TO MEET THE SUNRISE

IN REVERED SILENCE

I MAKE MY WAY

READY AS I'M GONNA BE

COME WHAT MAY

BOLDER

EVERY STEP I TAKE

SO DETERMINED

THIS TIME IS SPECIAL

ONE OF THOSE TIMES

YOU NEVER WANT

TO TAKE BACK

 

ALL THAT I FEEL

I CERTAINLY WILL

GET IT RIGHT

SAY YOU WILL

SAY YOU MIGHT

STEP OUT

INTO THE LIGHT

I WANT TO SEE YOU SHINE

LIKE MORNING SUN

ON CALM SEAS

A LOVE I'VE NEVER SEEN

THE LIKES OF BEFORE

I KNOW YOU'RE THE GIRL

I SAW YOU

IN EVERY DREAM

 KNEW YOU WERE REAL

KNEW I HAD TO TELL YOU

HOW I FEEL

 

YOU KNOW ITS YOU

THE STARS LINED UP

ALL THAT I FEEL

IS EVERYTHING

I CERTAINLY WILL

GET IT RIGHT

STEP OUT

INTO THE LIGHT

THIS IS OUR LOVE

WE CAN CALL THIS HOME

NO MORE STONE TO CARRY

THERES NO REASON

 

THERE'S NO REASON

I WAS ON THE ROAD

RUNNING WITH THE STARS

PICTURES OF A WANING MOON

WE FORGET TOO SOON

DRIFTING THROUGH THE MAGIC

THE DAYS WE LEFT BEHIND

SHADOWS CAST

ON ONCE FAMILIAR FACES

FADE AWAY

MELT INTO THE NIGHT

NOWHERE ARE THEY FOUND

YOU LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT

BUT ALAS ITS JUST YOU

 

YOU LOOK FOR SOMETHING MORE

YOU KNOW THERE'S SO MUCH

YOU KNOW THERE'S LOVE 

YOU TRY TO FIND

THERE'S NO REASON 

TO LEAVE ALL

THE MAGIC BEHIND

I WAS ON THE ROAD

RUNNING WITH THE SUN

NO THOUGHTS ON WHERE

I WAS GOING

BUT I REMEMBERED

EVERYWHERE I HAD BEEN 

 

SOONER OR LATER

ITS TIME TO GO

LET GO

OF THE SKY

TOUCHING DOWN

JUST A LITTLE WAYS TO GO 

DON'T LET GO 

WHEN THE WORLD

WONT GIVE IN 

TURN YOUR CHEEK

PULL THE PIN

YOU MAY AS WELL

IF YOU CANT WIN  

DARK DAYS

 

DARK DAYS

EARLY MORNING RAIN

THROUGH SLEEPY EYES

STEELY GRAY SKIES

STEALING THE SUN

PASS BEFORE

THE DARKENED DAY

SULLEN SILENCE

LITTLE MORE TO SAY

 

THOUGHTS RUN INTO

GLOOM AND PAUSE

I THINK I ALREADY

KNOW THE CAUSE

DARK DAYS

SLIP INTO MY SOUL

STICK TO ME LIKE GLUE

LEAVE MY CONSCIENCE 

BLACK AND BLUE

 

LUCKY FOR ME 

THERE'S YOU 

YOUR AIM IS

ALWAYS HIGH

YOUR HEART

ALWAYS PURE

RIGHT OUT

 OF THE SUN

AN ANGEL

 IN THE GLOW 

IF NOT FOR YOU

HOW WOULD I KNOW

THIS LOVE I HELD

IN MY HEART

SO LONG

WAS ALL FOR YOU

 

THE YEARS WENT BY

WITHOUT ME KNOWING

HOLLOW MIDNIGHTS

ONLY MY EYES

STARING IN THE DARK

WAS IT A SPARK 

THAT FOUND ME

LIT THIS FIRE

ALL AROUND ME

 

WILL

 

WILL

MY WILL IS STRONG

BUT EVERYDAY

IS STILL A FIGHT

AS LONG

AS ITS GOOD

AS LONG AS

 ITS RIGHT 

BRING MY SOUL

INTO THE LIGHT

I AM READY NOW

REACHING FOR THE RING

I KNOW

I WAS HERE BEFORE

BUT HERE I AM AGAIN

AS LONG AS THERE'S TIME

I WILL KEEP TRYING

TO SURVIVE

AS LONG AS

I AM ALIVE

SEE THE MORNING

BREAKING ON THE SHORE

LIGHT THE WAY FORWARD

PROMISE US MORE

DAYS I CAN EMBRACE

KEEP MY HEART

FROM THE DARK

BE THE SPARK

THAT STARTS THE SHOW

NOW IS THE TIME

SO DON'T BE SLOW

THE DAYS STITCHED TOGETHER

AN EMPTY SPACE TO FILL

I KNOW

I HAVE TO

I KNOW

I WILL

SEE THE STARS ALL SHINE

LA LA.. LA LA LA LA

EVERYTHING IS FINE

 

MADE YOU ONE

 

MADE YOU ONE

MOVE. ME

AS ONLY YOU CAN DO

DANCE

INTO THE DUSK

AND DISAPPEAR 

INTO THE NIGHT

THE LOVE THERE WAITING

CARESSED BY MOONLIGHT

 

LEFT TO TIME

I SEE YOU

WILL BE MINE

FROM THIS MOMENT ON

BEFORE IT STARTS TO FADE

BEFORE ITS GONE

 

THE DREAM HAS JUST BEGUN

THE STARS HAVE CHOSE YOU

MADE YOU ONE

THERE'S NO DENYING HERE

ANGELS MUST HAVE SHED A TEAR

BLESSED THIS LOVE

I CAN FEEL IT ALL

RAIN OR SHINE

RISE AND FALL

ALWAYS THERE

HOLDING YOU

 

HOW I WOULD OF MISSED

NEVER SAW ANY OF THIS

A SECOND LOOK

A SECOND KISS

A KIND OF BLISS

I CAME TO KNOW 

TIME HAS NOTHING ON US

DON'T LET GO 

DON'T LET GO

I AM RIGHT BESIDE YOU

 

THE DREAM HAS JUST BEGUN

THE STARS HAVE CHOSE YOU

MADE YOU ONE

THE WAY YOU SHINE

YOU LIGHT UP MY HEART

NOW THAT WE'VE COME THIS FAR

WE ARE HERE TO STAY
