I’m standing at the edge of the light
Waiting for the morning to break the night
Oh Lord, won’t You hear my plea?
Set my heavy spirit free...
I’m just a traveler, lost in the rain
Looking for the glory to wash the pain
Open up the gates, let the love pour in
Where the mercy ends, and the grace begins.
Verse 1 (Youssoupha - Style "Rap Conscient")
Yo...
They say the road is narrow, but my burden is wide
I’ve got a mountain of ego and a river of pride.
I’m walking through the valley where the shadows are tall
But I hear a voice whispering: "I’ll catch you if you fall."
It’s not about the crown, it’s about the thorns He wore
It’s not about the ceiling, it’s about the open door.
I was preaching in the streets, looking for a sign
While the Greatest Architect was drawing the design.
Forgive my doubts, Lord, I’m just a man of clay
Trying to find the words that the angels say.
(Indila en arrière-plan : Amen...)
Yeah, from the concrete to the clouds, we rise
With the truth in our hearts and the fire in our eyes.
Chorus (Indila & Full Choir)
I’m standing at the edge of the light
Waiting for the morning to break the night
Oh Lord, won’t You hear my plea?
Set my heavy spirit free...
I’m just a traveler, lost in the rain
Looking for the glory to wash the pain
Open up the gates, let the love pour in
Where the mercy ends, and the grace begins.
Bridge (Indila & Youssoupha in Dialogue)
(Indila): Every tear I’ve cried... (Is a seed in the ground)
(Youssoupha): Every time I lied... (The truth can be found)
(Indila): Lift me higher, higher...
(Youssoupha): Beyond the fire, beyond the wire.
(Together): We are the salt, we are the light, we are the soul!
Outro
(Le rythme s'arrête. Seuls le piano et les voix restent.)
(Indila): Where the grace begins...
(Youssoupha): Just a step away. Keep the faith.
(Indila): Vocalise finale montante vers les aigus
(Fade out with the Choir singing: "Hallelujah")
