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
|
