Something on the edge of this place Something on the edge of my mind Getting closer to me Growing stronger in me all the time The young foretell a life ahead The old look back on a life that's been led But I - I see nothing Got too much sand across my head Sit there waiting for the phone to ring Hopes in the attic, tied up with string On a top shelf, bottom drawer Any place I could ignore The falling of this hero No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die.... I made a promise - my soul laid bare Signed and sealed on a wing, on a prayer But thrown to the darkness It lies beyond repair This solemn oath I swore to you Has been neglected and unused In a back room, not on show Anywhere just not to know The falling of this hero No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die.... I let the orphan fall, tears remained unseen I let the child die on signal fifteen I missed the vital signs and all of the meanings You cannot judge me That's not your place There's a jury for the crime's of my disgrace You hide behind those vacant words Have you seen what I've seen? Have you heard what I've heard? You cannot judge me That's not your right This is my room, no key, no light You stand behind those faithless words Have you seen what I've seen? Have you heard what I've heard? No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die
