Holding your breath What were they all waiting for? Closer to death Closer than every before Hope is just a thing that you say A shining light that is guiding our way The edge is just a step away So many leaps of faith To take before the fall Losing your hold Eating the world from inside Don't you let go Take it or leave it behind Hope is just a thing that you say A shining light that is guiding our way The edge is just a step away So many leaps of faith To take before the fall The day that I could talk I was told The moment that I walked I was shoved to the ground The day that I was bought I was sold The moment that I swam I was drowned in the sea Hope is just a thing that you say A shining light that is guiding our way The edge is just a step away So many leaps of faith To take before the fall Before the fall
