Cheesy music, pretty solid lyrics

**Don't hunt down the song to listen to it... just read the lyrics.**

The Edge by Michael Card

Most of us will never know
How dark this world can seem
When life becomes more nightmare
Than a dream

So to all of you
Who have survived
A visit to the edge
I trust that you will
Understand this pledge

I promise I will always leave
The darkness for the light
I swear by all that's holy
I will not give up the fight
I'll drink down death like water
Before I ever come again
To that dark place
Where I might make
The choice for life to end

I've found that as I've traveled
Through the inscape of my life
That mountain tops make
Valleys in between

And when that nameless sadness
Like a cloud comes over me
I look back upon the brightness
I have seen

And realize that though my world
Might seem so torn apart
Most often it is joy
That breaks the heart

And that I am the richest man
Though I must beg for bread
For the very One who might condemn
Has called me friend instead
