Trying To Get The Balance Right

(앨범: By The Time It Gets Dark - 1987)

We don't always live in harmony
And often there are times when we are enemies
I fight with you, and you fight with me
Trying to get the balance right

Sometimes we cause each other pain
Sometimes our wills are not the same
And often we tire of the strain
Trying to get the balance right

Like a circus pair
High up in the air
Working on their act
We need that kind of pact
High above the ring
Watch them balancing
See how they unite
We too can get it right

We don't always seem to get along
And one of us often acts too strong
Sometimes we find we're going wrong
Trying to get the balance right

We don't always live in harmony
And often there are times when we are enemies
But I love you and you love me
When we get the balance right
When we get the balance right
We can get the balance right
