Story behind the song
I was inspired by Christopher Logue's poem-- Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It's too high! COME TO THE EDGE! So they came and he pushed and they flew.
Lyrics
============================================== GO TO THE EDGE Music and Lyrics by Sandra D. McCarthy (ASCAP) Created March 20, 2008 2009 by Sandra D. McCarthy (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved. ================================================ v1 It started as a whisper. It was you that called my name. You said, "Come to the edge, my friend. Walk through the door and fly with the wind. It's time to take a chance. Dreams do come true". Climb One-Two-Three-Four. March through that door. Yes I can! Yes I can! Chorus GO TO THE EDGE. Even if I fall. GO TO THE EDGE. I'll learn to fly. GO TO THE EDGE. Look, I'm flying! GO TO THE EDGE. Winner takes all. I'm flying high. I'm flying high! v2 I've waited to touch the sun. Why has it taken so long? I ran from my old doubts and fears. Opened my eyes, the moment is here. It's time to sing and dance. Dreams do come true. Climb One-Two-Three-Four. Push through that door. Yes I can! Yes I can! Chorus GO TO THE EDGE. Even if I fall. GO TO THE EDGE. I'll learn to fly. GO TO THE EDGE. Look, I'm flying! GO TO THE EDGE. Winner takes all. I'm flying high. I'm flying high! v3 I've broken through the other side. I'm shouting, "Now I am alive!" Rhapsody is the sweet reward. Hear the music of my heart soar. Thank-you my old friend. I stand tall! Climb One-Two-Three-Four. Run through that door. Yes I can! Yes I can! Chorus GO TO THE EDGE. Even if I fall. GO TO THE EDGE. I'll learn to fly. GO TO THE EDGE. Look, I'm flying! GO TO THE EDGE. Winner takes all. I'm flying high. I'm flying high! Tag I'm flying high!

Very nice vocals and a very spritely and humorous piece. Has almost a Felliniesque feel. Great work O Shimmerpuppy!

Sexy, yet out-of-body. Reminds me of a French film in the 60s. Nice lyrics, and they tell a neat story with feeling! Have you ever heard Flora Purim, and her husband Airto? Reminds me of their style - saucy and jazzy. Lovely song, Miz Songstress!

Excellent lyrics, Sandy. You captured a fantastic mood that suggests video even without any images. Your Peter Pan-meets-Audrey Hepburn approach is both inspiring and intimate to the point where the listener may blush at what appears to be your musical diary. Great arrangment - the parts of the song are very different which keeps it interesting. Great job maximizing the minimalist backing - it showcases your vulnerable vocals. I'm always impressed by your creativity, especially in lyrics, but the total package here is a winner. Congrats! Your fan, Johnny
