Forever Starts Today

Don't pull the plug now
A waiting room that's cold and lonely
An eternity in purgatory
The beginning of an endless story
Still I waited for the medicine
to flow beneath your skin
You open up your eyes
and take your first true breath in

I've been hanging on the edge
to hear you say, "Forever"
I was holding on, I kept holding on
to the hope that one day
You would lay down your heart
at the altar of grace and surrender
I've been hanging on the edge to hear you say
that forever starts today

I'll never forget the memories
when you were searching
Watching every bitter step of your journey
Every hour the suspense was burning
Still I waited for the Holy Ghost
to make his presence known
You open up your arms
and finally let yourself go

I've been hanging on the edge
to hear you say, "Forever"
I was holding on, I kept holding on
to the hope that one day
You would lay down your heart
at the altar of grace and surrender
I've been hanging on the edge to hear you say
that forever starts today

I've been hanging on the edge
to hear you say, "Forever"
I'm never gonna let you go

I've been hanging on the edge
to hear you say, "Forever"
I was holding on, I kept holding on
to the hope that one day
You would lay down your heart
at the altar of grace and surrender

I've been hanging on the edge
to hear you say, "Forever"
I was holding on, I kept holding on
to the hope that one day
You would lay down your heart
at the altar of grace and surrender
I've been hanging on the edge to hear you say
that forever starts today
