on the edge of a moment
in the land that we love
in the time that our best has to be good enough
like all those before us
we start out alone
we race from our schoolyards
into the unknown
city lights
as far as the eye can see
you and i
we will live differently
with our hearts in our hands
like loaded guns
we're taking a chance
we're the lucky ones
this moment is yours
this moment is mine
and we're gonna be fine
oh oh oh oh ohhh
oh oh oh oh ohhh
searching for love
counting steps as we go
our parents they taught us there's no way to know
i still hear their voices in the back of my head
saying
you'll do better than we ever did"
