Walking down the street, don't want to draw no heat
I gotta walk a little further on my tired feet
Winds of change trying to push me round
I know I can't depend on my home town
There's a point, even when you think you're tough
When a person has to say enough's enough
What can I say, things don't go your way
Everyone's pushing back getting in the way
Lift up your eyes, looking for respite
Can't see nothing, but the black of night
Tell yourself what's it matter
Put your faith in another batter

But I know it's only the edge of the storm
Yes I know it's only the edge of the storm
Will love get us through, will love get us through

​
Can't go to school without some stupid fool
Waving guns round, shooting folk down
You go to the mall, just hanging with your friends
And some coward starts shooting again
You see they don't like it when the cops shoot back
Cause their born with a yellow streak down their backs
Shooting at the innocent is all they can do
Put them in a hole and that's it, they're through
Put them away and forget their names
Put them in a hole and throw them away

Is love enough when you're hanging tough?
Is love enough when you're hanging tough?
Is love enough when you're hanging tough?
And they waves are crashing over your head

And I know it's only the edge of the storm (batter up, batter up)
Yes I know it's only the edge of the storm

Gotta have a little faith
Gotta have a little faith, come on

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
There's more on the way
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (I know, I know, come on)
There's more on the way
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (a little faith)
There's more on the way

A little faith to ride out the storm
Keeps your eyes up on the Lord

Well, I know it's only the edge of the storm, yeah (batter up batter up)
Yes, I know it's only the edge of the storm (yeah, gotta have a little faith)
Well, I know it's only the edge of the storm (yeah, the edge of the storm)
Yes, I know it's only the edge of the storm (batter up batter up, gotta have a little faith)

 

I know it’s only the edge of the storm (gotta have a little faith, yeah)

I know it’s only the edge of the storm

(A little faith, ride out the storm
Keeps your eyes up on the Lord)

A little faith, ride out the storm
Keeps your eyes up on the Lord
