Close To the Edge

Good Lord what have we done Can we not see what we've become Choosing sides in our back bites In that where is the love Do you remember where you were The day the world learned to hurt As sisters and brothers turned on each other Could you be part of the cure Are we all now in the dark About our wicked hardened hearts Much more gullible than ever pliable Is that who we all now are When did we decide to choose sides In this game of do or die When did hate become our playmate And then proceed to destroy our lives Is it too late to turn back Could there even be a chance Or is it too late to find a loving word in kind With what little time we have left As we're standing on the edge Thinking we're hedging all our bets We'll slip and slide right off the side Being this close to the edge
