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 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 Ba da da da, ba da da da da, ba da da da da And it's life, and it's dying, it's beginnings and ends It's what did you do, with the life they gave you Just were you that honest, did you make amends To all of the ones, under your guns How have you treated your friends Ba da da da, ba da da da da, ba da da da da Ba da da da, ba da da da da, ba da da da da
