And so I stand here so empty
Cool wind on my face, I’m alone
I stand on this ledge
The cars and the street far below
I feel I’ve reached the end
No life inside
How has it come to this?
I cry
So long ago I was filled with hope
My life laid out before me
How could it all go so wrong?
I remember how it all began…
“You’re going to have an amazing life.
You’ll grow up to big and strong and smart.
You can do anything, be anything you want to be.
Live and love and follow your dreams.
And I’ll be so proud. I’ll always be so proud of you.”
From the day that I was born
Surrounded by people who cared
Hopeful eyes of innocence
Spared from the darkness and free from despair
No stranger to love, a life far from rough
All hope for the future
A child free from harm, the world in my palm
Excited to see each day
And fumbled through those teenage years
The tears, the laughter and pain
Oh, like most everyone, when all’s said and done
I stumbled but found my way
It’s a journey
We see the whole world open wide
Ever learning
To be the best I can, my choices wise
The road that we walk down is our own
Life’s what we make of it
With open eyes we face the unknown
What tomorrow brings
The path than we choose is ours alone
A personal journey
Trust in fate, for which way to go
What tomorrow brings
SOLO: LT/MARK/LT/MARK
Then she came into my life
And I see the world in a whole new way
And she gave me so much more each day
I see the truth and now two are one
I’ll never walk alone again
SOLO: LT
We find a brand new way
Now three
Grow stronger day by day
And she I recognise
I look into my own eyes
SOLO: LT
In my memories I’m falling
A twisted scene of twisted steel, of blood and bone
I lie awake in sweat, a darkened ward, an empty bed
Wife and child are dead, how can this be real?
I’ve lost my life
My wife, my child
Why should I survive?
SOLO: LT / MARK
I survived, but now I’m dead inside
SOLOs: LT
And so I stand here so empty
Cool wind on my face, I’m alone
I stand on this ledge
The cars and the street far below
I feel I’ve reached the end
No life inside
How has it come to this?
I cry
So long ago now I lost all hope
One step to choose my fate
Say goodbye or turn and rebuild my life
Clawing my way to the light
It’s a journey
That leads to this single point in time
And I’m turning
One last step, the choice is mine
The road that we walk down is our own
Life’s what we make of it
With open eyes we face the unknown
What tomorrow brings
The path than we choose is ours alone
A personal journey
Trust in fate, for which way to go
What tomorrow brings
