You were a young girl, trying to get far
Trying to show the world you who really are
But they hate on you, and they prey on you
And you never knew you could feel so blue
So you wished it all away, dreamed a better place
To dream by yourself so you could feel salvation
Oh, oh, oh, don't fear the cold

I don't know if it's yes or no from me
But all you do is hold me back

Standing at the water's edge, dreaming of a better place
I feel the air again, I feel the air again

You were a young boy, born in the wrong place
Nothing to your name but the smile on your face
And they tell you to stay the same
But you turn it all around, started from the ground
Take the next step, find a better place
And heal, heal, heal, heal yourself

I don't know if it's yes or no from me
But all you do is hold me back

Standing at the water's edge, dreaming of a better place
I'll take the leap, I'll take the leap of faith
Standing at the water's edge, dreaming of a better place
Look into yourself and ease the pain
Standing at the water's edge, dreaming of a better day
I'll take the leap, I'll take the leap of faith
