Close To The Edge Songtext

By: Michael George Jackson-Clark



There's people flying rockets to the moon

They leave behind the ruins of a world gone wrong

And there's people deprived of human rights

Just ´cause they're not white

Oh will we ever learn


We see the pictures every day

Just turn our heads and look away

If you weren't here with me I'd go crazy



Sometimes I get close to the edge

Sometimes I get close to the thin line

Sometimes I get close to the edge

But you always pull me back



We worry ´bout such trivial things

But live like kings and queens in comparison

When there's children who never learned to smile

With no hope in their little lives

Oh will we ever learn



The signs are all so clear to see

But it's not real it's just TV

If you weren't here with me I'd go crazy



Sometimes I get close to the edge

Sometimes I get close to the thin line

Sometimes I get close to the edge

But you always pull me back



I get close to the edge darlin´

So close to the edge darlin´

I get close to the edge darlin´

But you always pull me back
