I wish I could protect you here

Oh, please don't cry

Now smile as you're standing

At the edge of your life

Your troubles are over

Mine are just beginning

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

To take me away from here

Its me you leave behind

If only I could have been there

I’d be a hand for the sinking

If only I could have been there

I’d be a prayer for the dying

See the pain etched in my face

I’m so sick and tired of

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

The sounds of crying

As you're standing at the edge of your life

What do you remember was it all you wanted"
