lyrics

Come back from the edge
Said the stranger on the bridge
I’ve stood where you stand
And wondered if I could
I’ve listened to the wind
And heard the flowing water
I want to hear your story
Before you take that final step

And maybe we could
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
You’ve got something to give
Said the Stranger on the Bridge

The devil in my head
Throws my understanding
It tells me how to live
And where I should be running
You know I found a dark place
Sectioned in my hospital bed
I know I need to talk
But I can’t say how

But if we could
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
I’ve got something to give
Like the Stranger on the Bridge

I wander through the night
Thinking about tomorrow
It seems such a thin wire
To always be balanced on
You're never far away
Perpetually a soldier
Always near the edge
Needing a Stranger on the Bridge

And if we can
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
You’ve got something to give
Yes if you can
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
You’ve got something to give
Like the Stranger on the Bridge
