Lyrics by Sarah Lettes

Lyrics:
I wanna climb
To the bottom of a song
And scrape up all the feeling

I wanna fly
To the edge of every prayer
An watch those words start healing

Sorrow grows on sorrow
Like moss grows on a stone
Still I roll on
Hope tomorrow
Tomorrow I’ll be home
Someday I’ll be home
I hope someday I’ll be home

I wanna crawl
Into the space between the lines
And know just what you’re thinkin

I wanna hold
Your heart right where it is
And keep that thing from sinkin

I wanna look all my fears right in the face
And shake all their cold hands

I wanna spin
The world just like a top
And see just where my life lands

Sorrow grows on sorrow
Like moss grows on a stone
Still I roll on
Hopin tomorrow
Tomorrow I’ll be home
Someday I’ll be home
Someday I’ll be home

Edge of Hope

 Bob Cairns (https://soundcloud.com/bob-cairns) wrote this music and lyric...I added a little guitar etc. here and there, although the song is so perfectly formed... that I don't think it needed anything ...it stands on it's own with just Bob and his guitar. The lyric paints as beautiful a picture of a human heart and Soul in it's quest for Spiritual "communion" as you may ever find. 

 The lyric has many levels and meanings to explore but...To me, one thing that this brilliant lyric and music touches on is, the mystical path we are all on in this life and forgiveness... of life's pain, our own failings and even God (or one's personal Divinity) ...for seemingly failing us.... Bob's own thoughts are below mine in quotes.

Asteri-There sometimes comes a moment  in life... when we have struggled against all we are given to endure and we can do no more. In our last willful act before we succumb to the forces that would destroy us, we leap but, we fail...we don't make it to safety and peace. At that moment, we may cry out...calling for that which we sense or believe to be our "beloved".

 If the Spirit is pure in it's quest, it is possible to be heard and for us to be carried to the next level... by something beyond this consciousness and this dimension. We are lifted and carried without our own effort, to the Spiritual place we had longed to be  by virtue of our pure and heroic heart. 

Bob-"The verse regards, ("whenever he felt the tenderness he'd lose if he should hold") is sometimes regarded as an accusation towards the mother for lack of nurture but, beneath the surface of effect is... cause... and that is, 'environmental conditions'... among other things that can make nurture so difficult, hence the title Green King and not Red king or White king or whatever, the Green denoting environment and when seen through the blue is... Gold. 

(Green being the middle color of the rainbow also relating to the "cause & effect" scenario where "communication" is so much part of the environment, the lack of which plays host to much neglect and confusion).

The final verse regards the beast ...reflects the journey towards the summit, the quest to learn, to know, the transitional moment ...while striving, to slip and fall and in so doing, cry out from deep within for help ...and in that instant, a response from across the universe, in the form of a winged white horse... catches the dimly conscious being, lifting the awareness to realms of imagination."

" In The final surmising...Where reparation cannot be made to make "right", "write" down make a holy "rite". The hidden or invisible meaning spoken three in one. Caused much soul searching the answer alighted upon trust to hear, now made more clear.
