Most of us will never know How dark this world can seem When life becomes more nightmare Than a dream But to all of you Who have survived A visit to the edge I trust that you Will understand this pledge
Chorus: I promise I will always leave The darkness for the light I swear by all that's holy I will not give up the fight I'll drink down death like water Before I ever come again To that dark place Where I might make The choice for life to end
I found that as I traveled Through the inscape of my life That mountaintops make valleys in between And when that nameless sadness Like a cloud comes over me I look back on all the brightness I have seen Chorus.
