Up here on the ledge, staring at the ground
High above the world, that keeps trying to drag me down
Up here on the ledge, staring at the sky
I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish that I could fly
Up here on the ledge, I wish that I could fly
I'm just wanting to escape, I didn't come up here to die
Up here on the ledge, Feeling all alone
I got nowhere that I belong, no place that I call home
Up here on the ledge, with no place that I call home
I had a wife and children, but I left them long ago
Up here on the ledge, wondering where they are
Trying hard to understand, how it got this far
Up here on the ledge, wondering how it got this far
Why do I do the things I do that make my life so hard
Up here on the ledge, and I'm trying not to cry
I don't want to live, and I don't want to die
Up here on the ledge, I didn't come up here to die
I'm just looking for some peace, I'm just trying to quiet my mind
Up here on the ledge, and I'm praying for my soul
Heaven's just a step away and I think it's time to go
