Verge

Verge

I’m sitting here on the verge of tears

Wondering where I’ll be in fifty years.

Which paths I will choose and which decisions

I will make or neglect to make.

I’m sitting here on the verge of tears

Wondering where I’ll be in twenty years.

How educated I will be and how much

Time I will have to relax.

I’m sitting here on the verge of tears

Wondering where I’ll be in a year.

Which girl I’ll be falling for, and which

Song will be stuck in my head.

I’m sitting here on the verge of tears

Wondering where I’ll be tomorrow

For if I don’t think about and live

Tomorrow

I will never survive to see next year, twenty or fifty years

From now.

Every day as vital to your life

As every breath to your lungs

As every beat to your heart

As every smile to your face and

As I sit here on the verge of tears

I wonder where I am today

And discover that I am

Right on the verge of where I should be.
