Edge of Great
Julie and the Phantoms Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tripping on the now
What is lost can be found, it's obvious
And like a rubber ball
We come bouncing back
We all got a second act, inside of us
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
We all make mistakes
But they're just stepping stones
To take us where we wanna go
It's never straight, no
Sometimes we gotta lean
Lean on someone else
To get a little help
Until we find our way
I believe
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of
Shout, shout
C'mon and let it out, out
Don't gotta hide it
Let your colors blind their eyes
Be who you are no compromise
Just shout, shout
C'mon and let it out, out
What doesn't kill you makes you feel alive
Ooh-oh
I believe
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of great
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) on the edge of great
(Great, on the edge of great) on the edge
(Great, on the edge of great)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of
Running from the past
Tripping on the now
What is lost can be found, it's obvious

Line by Line Meaning
Running from the past
Trying to escape from our past mistakes
Tripping on the now
Not being able to focus on the present moment
What is lost can be found, it's obvious
We can rediscover what we've lost; it's not a mystery
And like a rubber ball
Just like a ball bouncing back and forth, we too can bounce back from failures
We come bouncing back
After being knocked down, we rise again
We all got a second act, inside of us
We all have the potential to start fresh and pursue new goals
I believe
I have faith
I believe that we're just one dream
I believe that achieving success is just one step away
Away from who we're meant to be
From realizing our full potential and purpose
That we're standing on the edge of
We're near the brink of
Something big, something crazy
An opportunity that is exciting and unpredictable
Our best days are yet unknown
We are not sure what the future holds, but it could be amazing
That this moment is ours to own
We have control over our lives, and this moment is ours to make the most of
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
We are at a momentous point in our lives where greatness is possible
We all make mistakes
We are all prone to errors
But they're just stepping stones
Mistakes are learning opportunities, not failures
To take us where we wanna go
Mistakes are part of the journey towards success
It's never straight, no
The path to success is never easy or straightforward
Sometimes we gotta lean
At times we need support
Lean on someone else
To rely on others for assistance
To get a little help
To receive the support we need
Until we find our way
Until we discover our path to success
Shout, shout
Express yourself loudly and boldly
C'mon and let it out, out
Don't hold back your emotions
Don't gotta hide it
You don't need to conceal your true self
Let your colors blind their eyes
Be so uniquely yourself that it's overwhelming for others
Be who you are no compromise
Don't change your identity to fit someone else's expectations
What doesn't kill you makes you feel alive
Challenges and difficulties help us grow and feel more present in our lives
Ooh-oh
Vocal improvisation
On the edge of great
At the cusp of greatness
Great, on the edge of great
We are about to achieve greatness
'Cause we're standing on the edge of
We are at a critical moment in our lives
