At the edge

Our grasp is so fragile
The thread is so thin
I wonder each day
if I´m blowing away
I know that I´m lucky
I wouldn´t be here at all
if somebody´s hand
hadn´t been where I stand
At the edge of a very great fall

And like a lighthouse before
you at the edge of the sea
the woman whose grip
holds when you slip
But the darkness won´t get you
Your family won´t go
They will make your heart light
to where you know what is right
And you go where you know
you should go

And it´s life and it´s dying
It´s beginning and ends
It´s what did you do
with the life they gave you
It´s were you that honest, and
did you make amends
to all the ones under your guns
How have you treated your friends
