The Man At The Edge Of The World
I saw a homeless family living on the streets

I stand across
And watch from the other side
I see so many people
Swallowing their pride
Just to keep their dream alive
While other people laugh
They keep they heads held high
As another day goes by
Another child dies
Like a lamb being led to the slaughter
As I watch
He holds the hand of his only daughter
At the edge of the world
Sits a man full of stories
About life and loss
A lifetime of memories
Of the way life used to be
A junk car
In the corner of a parking lot
Their home away from home
It's not the american dream they were hoping for
I wonder what would have happened
If he hadn't run out of time
From the past into this lifetime
Can be an angel in disguise
He tried to find some answers
The man behind the counter
Sorry, you're on your own
He's finally shown what he has always known
At the edge of the world
Sits a man full of stories
About life and loss
A lifetime of memories
Of the way life used to be
Eluding stares from all the faces
Blinded by ignorance
Once they're gone
They'll never be seen again
Somewhere like a scene from a movie
A pictured painted
Says a thousand words
Have I come back to life
Or did I ever leave at all
Finding the strength to start again
In a place where your prayers are never heard
And the truth will never have it's turn
At the edge of the world
Sits a man full of stories
About life and loss
A lifetime of memories
Of the way life used to be
