The Edge - Michael Card
Most of us will never know How dark this world can seem When life becomes more nightmare than a dream. So to all of you who have survived A visit to the edge, I trust that you will understand this pledge. Chorus: I promise I will always leave The darkness for the light. I swear by all that's holy I will not give up the fight. I'll drink down death like water Before I ever come again To that dark place where I might make The choice for life to end. I've found that as I travelled Through the inscape of my land That mountaintops make valleys in between. And when that nameless sadness Like a cloud comes over me I look back on all the brightness I have seen. Chorus Bridge: I realize that though my world Might seem so torn apart, Most often it is joy that breaks the heart. And that I am the richest man Though I must beg for bread, For the very One who might condemn Has called me friend instead. Chorus I will always leave the darkness for the light. I will not give up the fight.
