Your roads have all been easy
|
And your days have all been warm
|
And you've been blessed with common sense
|
And beauty in your form
|
You thought that this was just another
|
Simple stream to cross
|
But you've got one foot over the waterfall
|
And the rock is slick with moss
|
|
Chorus: One foot over the waterfall
|
And the shore is not in sight
|
One foot over the waterfall
|
On a dark and windy night
|
One foot over the waterfall
|
Will you ever get across?
|
One foot over the waterfall
|
And the rocks are slick with moss
|
|
In all your years of training
|
And all the school you've had
|
They never told you how to deal
|
With something quite this bad
|
Your bones are full of jelly
|
And your heart is full of drumming
|
You've got one foot over the waterfall
|
And you never saw it coming
|
|
The situation's hopeless
|
There's no one on your side
|
And more than almost anything
|
You'd love to run and hide
|
It won't get any easier
|
There's next to zero chance
|
And you've got one foot over the waterfall
|
So you might as well start to dance
|
|
It isn't always easy
|
To move along with grace
|
Sometimes in spite of all you do
|
You end upon your face
|
But if you try with all your might
|
To dance this dizzy track
|
Someone out beyond the waterfall
|
Will throw a lifeline back
|
|
I had one foot over the waterfall
|
When I found this solid ground
|
And without the lifeline tossed to me
|
I likely would have drowned
|
This message is a lifeline
|
This song my be a chance
|
When you've got one foot over the waterfall
|
You can sing it as you dance
|
