Standing on the Edge

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 100º 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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
