[Verse 1]
Daylight comes to meet you on the road
Like a prodigal son, a prodigal hope
That you gave up on when you were young
Yeah, but daylight is coming on

[Chorus 1]
We live on the edge
On the edge of a darkness, oh
We live on the edge
On the edge of a darkness oh
But daylight is coming on

[Verse 2]
Heaven bends low for the naked and the poor
To settle up a debt, to settle up the score
To set up a table on the edge of a war
'Cause we've been bleeding on the edge of a sword

[Chorus]
Yeah, 'cause we live on the edge
On the edge of a darkness, oh
We live on the edge
On the edge of a darkness, oh
But daylight is coming on
[Bridge]
And the boardwalk is painted red with the blood
Of a thousand prospective heroes, but one
Still cries out beyond all the grave and the flood
Where the blackest abysses cannot overcome
The boardwalk is painted red with the blood
Of a thousand prospective heroes, but one
Still cries out beyond all the grave and the flood
Where the blackest abysses cannot overcome

[Chorus]
Yeah, 'cause we live on the edge
On the edge of a darkness, oh
We live on the edge
On the edge of a darkness, oh
But daylight is coming on
