About the song
I'm impatient as these songs are recorded raw at our last practice off of my itty bitty MP3 recorder!! Can't wait till we get to the studio and really get the chance to dub back-up vocals and clean them up.
The words for this song were inspired by the following: Late last year Scottie was T-boned while driving and his truck flipped. The paramedics gave him the okay and sent him home. A month later the left side of his body went numb and started going limp. He went to the emergency room and they told him they would be doing brain surgery within the hour. The doctor couldn't believe he was even walking and told him he had a 50/50 chance to live. His brain had been bleeding and was pushed up against his skull with intense pressure. That was in February. By May he was playing guitar with the band.

Standing On The Edge©CindyK/ScottieJ 2005 – Arrangement: Scottie J
Lyrics: Cindy K

Standing on the edge I can see the other side
Never did believe that I’d have to say goodbye
Things I thought I knew now I know were just a lie
If I could see you now clear as I can see you in my mind

Oh, oh Gotta find my way
Tell me, is it too late?

There’s people in this world ain’t got no love for me
Still I take em by the hand cause that’s the only way to be
As I’m lying in this bed I pray that one day they will see
That the only thing you take is the love that you create

Oh, oh Gotta find my way
Tell me, it’s not too late

Instrumental

Well he walked into my world and he brought a gentle rain
He took so much of me till nothing else remained
Broke my heart in two but I allowed it just the same
Now I’m standing on the edge contemplating change

Oh, oh Gotta find my way
Tell me, it’s not too late

Oh, oh Gotta find my way
Please tell me, it’s not too late
