[Chorus] All of us get lost in the darkness Dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter Dreamers turn to look at the cars Turn around and turn around and turn around Turn around and walk the razor's edge Turn around and walk the razor's edge Turn around and walk the razor's edge Don't turn your back And slam the door on me Neil Peart wrote this song in response to learning of someone committing suicide, and how he wished he could have told the person that it’s worth fighting for life.     Posted on : Apr 11, 2020     Add Comment sneaky-peter Comments: 165 Commented on Dec 12, 2020 Sad, beautiful, truthful lyrics.
