Tightrope

Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat Can't catch a turtle in this rat race Feels like I'm losin' time at a breakneck pace Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge Thank God it never found me would have been the end (I was) walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends Walkin' the tightrope (it) was a shame and a sin Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right Walkin' the tightrope both day and night Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin Through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend We've all had our problems that's the way life is My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight Walkin' the tightrope
