[Verse 1] From my childhood’s hour I had to live in unwanted sin. As i watched others get love Yet I just could not seem to win. I did not see the world the way others felt it and it wasn't the way i knew, I Could not feel in this world what they were calling true. My passions came From my imaginations strangest streams, Fed by the dark shadows and the holiest of lights, but it was shaped by all my nightmares and my dreams. For all I loved has left me behind so now I am left to love alone, A soul so adrift, this heart left unclaimed and kept hidden kept unknown. [Chorus] Alone, I walk on the edges of life's ledge so wide, Where the lightning where the storm and even the sorrow do not abide. The thunder speaks, so the skies will unfold, I see my hearts fire in the autumn's trees and my sadness is in the mountain so cold. And through it all, I still must remain Bound within a trapped inner beauty, shaped by this worlds cruel endless pain.. [Verse 2] In early years, when from the sky the dawn had been torn, Lifes struggle and inner storm had been just darkly born. The good and ill they both have carved themselves Their own place, Etched in time, that no soul can erase. This souls torrent’s rage, this souls fountain's sorrow that will never cease to cry, The sun glows gold in the blood-red sky. As The lightning flashed I saw my only little bit of happiness begin to burn, And thought that my joy would never again return. [Chorus] Alone, I walk on the edges of life's ledge so wide, Where the lightning where the storm and even the sorrow do not abide. The thunder speaks, so the skies will unfold, I see my hearts fire in the autumn's trees and my sadness is in the mountain so cold. And through it all, I still must remain Bound within a trapped inner beauty, shaped by this worlds cruel endless pain.. [Bridge] [instrumental swell, then voice alone] Then the smoke turned to clouds And I watched as it began to form, A angel shaped formed from what had been a loud lightning and thunder storm. While the heavens were still there just smiling in an endless blue, Then the angel gave me an instant knowledge as he stole my gaze from God's home then branded my heart for Jehovah yes, oh it went right straight through. [Final Chorus] Now i walk with Jehovah Alone on the edges of life's ledge so wide, Where the lightning where the storm and even love always abide. The thunder gladly speaks, so the skies will unfold, I see my hearts on zealous fire in the autumn's trees and its boldness in the mountain so old. And through it all by Jehovah's side i choose to remain Gifted within a hidden inner beauty, reshaped by jehovah who helps me through my pain.
