Silverbird - Standing at the Edge of Life Lyrics

Standing At The Edge Of Life

I've seen a million faces suffering all their life
Children are born, they are just bound to die

All their life long dreaming of good
All their life long no love, no food

Standing at the edge of life, their time is running out
Standing at the edge of life, their backs against the wall
Standing at the edge of life, their time's tickin' away
Standing at the edge of life, it seems there is no way out

And while some others stand aside and look
The captives of injustice lost in the dephts of the abyss

All their life long praying to God
Their look to heaven above, dying doesn't mean a lot

Standing at the edge of life, their time is running out
Standing at the edge of life, their backs against the wall
Standing at the edge of life, their time's tickin' away
Standing at the edge of life, it seems there is no way out

And some others standing on the brink
Their pockets full of money, that's all there is they think

All their life long praying to themselves
A million miles away from reality

Standing at the edge of life, their time is running out
Standing at the edge of life, their backs against the wall
Standing at the edge of life, their time's tickin' away
Standing at the edge of life, it seems there is no way out
