Lyrics
The Edge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One step closer to the edge,
What would you do if you had the chance?
There's not much time ahead,
No one can wake the dead,
Once you're dead you're done,
Once you're dead you're done,
Give it your best shot, I gave it my best shot,
Cause once I'm dead I'm done.
Get set! Jump in head first,
You might fall, you might get hurt,
Don't go running backwards,
You might be scared, it doesn't matter,
Take a chance start over,
You'll never know, what if you'd like it better.
There's not much time ahead,
No one can wake the dead,
Once you're dead you're done,
Once you're dead you're done,
Give it your best shot, I gave it my best shot,
Cause once I'm dead I'm done.
We only have one life to live,
Why are we afraid to make it better?
Get set! Jump in head first,
You might fall, you might get hurt,
Don't go running backwards,
You might be scared, it doesn't matter,
Take a chance start over,
You'll never know, what if you'd like it better.
Come on sing along,
All together shout it out loud.
Once you're dead you're done,
Once you're dead you're done,
Give it your best shot, I gave it my best shot,
Cause once I'm dead I'm done.
One step closer to the edge,
What would you do if you had the chance?
There's not much time ahead,
No one can wake the dead.
