about

To be honest with you I’m not quite sure what the hell this song is about! Freedom? Present moment awareness? Whatever. It sure feels good to sing it! :o) What do YOU think it’s about?

lyrics

Edge of Time

Song #99 | March 1988

Time is hope and Time is power
Time is something we can’t live without
I was very young when I was first told
Time is something that makes you old
Time is something that makes you old

Caution cannot save a soul from death
I can smell your weakness on your breath
The world turns on into the night
Without a thought for our human plight (repeat)
Without a thought for our human plight

Refrain:
Have you ever seen the wind?
Have you seen tall buildings bend?
What do you lose? What do you find?
When you live on the edge of Time?

When you live on the edge of Time?

Mountains rise and mountains fall
David answers Goliath’s call
Desert wind leans touching down
Essence captured in a thistle down
Essence captured in a thistle down

Refrain:

Bridge:
The way your light comes down it carries me
And leads my heart into your silent sea
It’s so hopeful I can finally see
I can’t explain just why I feel so free
I know someday it will come back to me
It’s so hopeful I can finally see…
It’s so hopeful I can finally see…

Build your buildings on the rock
Get your saxophone out of hock
Tonight we dance as if tomorrow we die
Tomorrow we continue to learn to fly…
Tomorrow we continue to learn to fly…

Refrain:

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
