As I stand here on the brink

 

As I stand here on the brink

I look back over my time with you

And think of what it meant

I feel my life destroyed

And my heart crushed

 

As I stand here on the brink

I look down, and I wonder

Do I dive?

Will I fly?

Will I land safely upon the ground below?

 

As I stand here on the brink

I see the world is beautiful

I don’t notice the filth

I see the tall buildings

The proud accomplishments of man

 

As I stand here on the brink

I think of all I want to do

I want to change the world

I want my life to be a monument

I fly
