Water’s Edge

Water's Edge

"A song of freedom..."

Sun breaks through on a bleak summer evening
Wild grass as high as your knees
Take the tired, the weary, and the bleeding
Headlong to a place you never felt so free

Lead 'em by the hand to the edge of the water
Past the fences of barbed wire
Someone's mother and someone else's daughter
Waves dancing 'neath a sky on fire

(CHORUS)
And they come, and they come to the water's edge
It's their sanity
And they come, and they come to the water's edge
This small town

Some fight for fear, others fight for freedom
And some just don't really care
Some they battle their own inner treason
Some they cry with eyes unaware

(CHORUS)
And they come, and they come to the water's edge
It's their sanity
And they come, and they come to the water's edge
This small town
