Brink of Destruction

written by: Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand

Lyrics

It would be if it could be so wonderful if we succeed
Your warmth and your words found a place in my world and breathed new life in

We come from the brink of destruction
we gathered ourselves from the floor
We tried and we suffered and finally recovered
and found a new way to live
We’re two side by side with impossible dreams
taking a chance to let love in

Storms come I learned to be strong
I don’t lean on anyone else
But now I am so content here in your arms
I don’t want to be anywhere else
With you I’m home, with you I’m home

I hold fast to my destination I know that the road will be long
We light up the sky let the beauty define us and give,
give it all we got
We’re two side by side with impossible dreams
taking a chance to let love in

Storms come I learned to be strong
I don’t lean on anyone else
But now I’m so content here in your arms
I don’t want to be anywhere else
With you I’m home, with you I’m home
