Below - Live Songtext
von Greg Anderson

You′re standing on a bridge
Inky waters beneath
There's stones in your pockets
And you′re ready to leap
Your head is pounding
With anxiety
And the guilt
Of all your inadequacies
So you stand and you think
For a moment or two
If that shining black shroud
Can bring comfort to you
With a leap of faith
You take to the sky
But the fall never comes, no
Not tonight


As you lean toward the water
A hand flies from the dark
And it rests upon your shoulder
With a firm but gentle grasp
Now I don't mean to be a bother
But I've seen too many men
Like Jeff and Scott before you
Turn to nothing but bags of sand
Now I′ve not heard your story
And, your mind, I′ll never know
But I wanted you to hear
What awaits you down below
There's complete and utter silence
And an end to all this fear
But no love, no embrace
Only pain on the faces of those
That you hold dear
So wont you you back away my friend
From the edge of nothingness
And come home with me to take
A not-so-peaceful rest
See, I′d rather use a comma
In a full stop's place tonight

I swear you′ll see clearer
When you reach the sunrise
When you reach the sunrise
When you reach the sunrise
When you reach the sunrise
