On The Horizon Of It All

[Verse 1] Sunrise stains the sand Morning headlines cloud my head A lonely troubled star I plug in from afar Coffee cools by the phone Names and numbers glow Breathe softly, then I go [Chorus] Oh the world keeps spinning I’m a woman, just a child Watching shadows on the wall Waiting for the fall Every siren, every scream Shreds my fragile dream Pages burn in the living room Prayers rise with no reply In the dark I make a plan Shaking as I take a stand Holding through the rise and fall On the horizon of it all [Verse 2] Whispers in a foreign tongue Another battle lost or won Maps spread out like fragile art Heavy ache inside my heart Footsteps down the hall Duty answers all I see the writing on the wall [Chorus] Oh the world keeps spinning I’m a woman, just a child Watching shadows on the wall Waiting for the fall Every siren, every scream Shreds my fragile dream Pages burn in the living room Prayers rise with no reply In the dark I make a plan Shaking as I take a stand Holding through the rise and fall On the horizon of it all [Bridge] Years like desert sand Still I try to understand The human game, the endless fight Lost in the fading light Yet my compass stays alive I know where the dawn will rise [Chorus] Oh the world keeps spinning I’m a woman, just a child Watching shadows on the wall Waiting for the fall Every siren, every scream Shreds my fragile dream Pages burn in the living room Prayers rise with no reply In the dark I make a plan Shaking as I take a stand Holding through the rise and fall On the horizon of it all
