On the Edge

[Verse 1] [Intimate female lead, soft choir pad] I came back torn through belief and doubt in view The facts sat like a storm but I was held, not worn I asked and asked again through every crooked bend And in the asking place I found a kind of grace [Pre-Chorus] [Rising harmony, suspended organ swell] If all of this can shake On the knife edge of life and still not fall apart Then something steady awaits right here inside my heart [Chorus] [Blooms with stacked choir answers, airy doubles] Ask, and it is given An answer brings peace. I have not been alone I have not been alone Ask, and it is given An answer brings peace. On the knife-edge of life, I make my home On the knife-edge of life, I make my home [Verse 2] [Intimate acoustic, gentle folk lilt] At twelve, I asked aloud would we make faith somehow? If none was in our life’s dance like truth was a miss chance Now I can laugh and pray at all the things I used to say Finding love for how faith remains A family of many names one river, many flames [Pre-Chorus] [Rising harmony, suspended organ swell] I do not need to know Every piece of the plan Or how the shadows part I only need to feel Your beat inside my heart [Chorus] [Blooms with stacked choir answers, airy doubles] Ask, and it is given An answer brings peace. I have not been alone I have not been alone Ask, and it is given An answer brings peace. On the knife-edge of life, I make my home On the knife-edge of life, I make my home [Bridge] [Strips to close vocal, bowed countermelody] Maybe the whole wide world Will move into song Discord into mercy where broken pieces belong I cannot map the sky or name the deep big why But I can stand and sing and let my soul reply safe in the paradox within [Final Chorus] [Full emotional lift, warm cinematic sheen] Ask, and it is given An answer brings peace. I have not been alone I have not been alone Ask, and it is given An answer brings peace. On the knife-edge of life, I make my home On the knife-edge of life, I make my home [Outro] [Soft risers fade, gentle close acoustic guitar] Ask, and it is given (ask, and it is given) In the hush, in the light I am held by the light
