Edge of a Ledge

Music & Lyrics by Nick Marechal © 2017

I found myself at the edge of a ledge

It was a long way down

Found myself at the edge of a ledge

It was a long way down

Felt the cold wind blowing

The dark is coming

But i’m holding on

Mama’s at the edge of a ledge

The landlord’s at the door again

Mama’s at the edge of a ledge

The landlord’s at the door again 

With the cupboard bare and a baby crying

Mama’s trying not to let him in

Papa’s at the edge of a ledge 

The last good job left town

Papa’s at the edge of a ledge

The last good job left town

Now there’s a bottle that takes him to a place he knows

The dark is coming

But papa’s holding on

And so we’re holding on for justice 

Holding on for truth

Hope lights up the darkness

Hope holds up the roof

The whole street is on the edge of a ledge

A chorus cries for justice

The whole street is no the edge of a ledge 

A chorus cries for justice

Angry fires burn the night

The trust is gone but they’re holding on

We’re holding on

And we’re standing strong
