The Man Who Lived on the Edge of the World

from The Other Side of the Sky by Barefoot Bran

/

lyrics

I met a man who lived on the edge of the world
He sat on the edge, with dangling feet
His eyes were blind to the world behind him
And he smiled as I took a seat
He smiled as I took a seat

The wisdom of ages lay plain on his face
And so I asked the man who lived on the edge of the world
Where is your fear? Aren’t you afraid?
Of falling off the edge
Of falling off the edge

Then said the man who lived on the edge of the world
Oh, there is fear. Sometimes I am afraid.
But there is thirst, so much thirst.
A hunger to learn to fly.
A wonder for the sky

Then I asked the man on the edge of the world
How can I find the wonder of the sky?
He told me you will never find it
If you don’t learn to fly
If you don’t jump and try

Then the man, he spread his arms wide
He leaned forward, began to fall
Lights of rainbow, lights so bright
His wings appeared and he took flight
