Standing on the Edge Songtext
von Robin McAuley

I saw a sign today that read the end is near
A child was born today
And his mother
Cried in fear
The weather says
It′s 100% no rain in the future
A million people all bend the knee
And say they'll rise together

Every picture tells a tale
And shows it like it is
And what we see is real

Standing on the edge waiting for the sun
Journey′s at an end the battle's almost won
Rising from the ash of poverty and pain
Standing on the edge to be free again


I saw a man today
And he had tears in his eyes
All I had to give to him was a smile
As he held out his hand
He was hungry he was cold
He was skin and bone
Don't think he′s gonna make it
A soldier far from home
He′s got no uniform
It's a bloody circus

We will rise and we will fall
Until we are free at last
Can we forget the past

Standing on the edge waiting for the sun
Journey′s at an end the battle's almost won
Rising from the ash of poverty and pain
Standing on the edge to be free again

We will rise and we will fall
Until we are free at last
Can we forget the past

Standing on the edge waiting for the sun
Journey′s at an end the battle's almost won
Rising from the ash of poverty and pain
Standing on the edge to be free again
