The Tightrope of LIfe

I’m telling you straight
That this was my life.
I was living it scared
On the edge of a knife.
This was my life
And I wonder if you;
Are living the same
Balanced there too.
  
     On the tightrope of life
     I was frozen in space
     Too scared to move
     Just trapped in that place.
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

And then I heard
From out of the dross
About the man from above
Who died on the cross.
I’m not really sure
If I’m rich or I’m poor
I couldn’t have guessed
Now I couldn’t care less.

     On the tightrope of life
     Just balancing there
     I hadn’t a hope and
     I hadn’t a prayer
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

I’ve found the love of my life
He’s the man from above
He keeps me sane and
Surrounds me with love.
So now that I’m saved
I’d like to tell you
About the man from above
And the way that is true.

     On the tightrope of life
     I was frozen in space
     Too scared to move
     Just trapped in that place.
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

     On the tightrope of life
     Just balancing there
     I hadn’t a hope and
     I hadn’t a prayer
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.
