lyrics

I've prepared for this for most of my life
Twelve years of working unceasingly
Friends old and new have come and gone
I've been waiting for my time, waiting to be free
Now I'm on the edge, it's almost here
Time to show the world just who I am
In a short while, I'll be on my own
Trying to figure out my life's plan

And I'm standing on the edge of uncertainty
Standing at the crossroads of life and uncertainty
Opportunity's knocking, and life has opened the door
Ready or not, I've got to face up to what lies in store
And I don't think I am ready, isn't there some other way?
The sun has set on my childhood, but I don't want to face the brand new day
Too afraid to take that final step
So I'm standing

I'm eighteen, life couldn't be better
Immaturity and innocence left behind
People I have met will not forget me
But I'm frightened, scared to death of what I might find
It's a cold, cruel world out there
No one to help me or find me when I'm lost
A whole new world is waiting for me
I have to take responsibility, no matter the cost

And I'm standing on the edge of uncertainty
Standing at the crossroads of life and uncertainty
Opportunity's knocking, and life has opened the door
Ready or not, I've got to face up to what lies in store
And I don't think I am ready, isn't there some other way?
The sun has set on my childhood, but I don't want to face the brand new day
Too afraid to take that final step
So I'm standing

My life is changing much too quickly, I just want to slow down time
Adulthood might not be that tricky, I've just got to make it mine
Face each day with renewed spirit, carpe diem, seize the day
I plug my ears so I can't hear it, but growing up has to be this way
I want to go back to who I was before

And I'm standing on the edge of uncertainty
Standing at the crossroads of life and uncertainty
Opportunity's knocking, and life has opened the door
Ready or not, I've got to face up to what lies in store
And I don't think I am ready, isn't there some other way?
The sun has set on my childhood, but I don't want to face the brand new day
Too afraid to take that final step
So I'm standing
So I'm standing
So I'm standing
