Tightrope

(álbum: In Step - 1989)

Caught up in the whirlwind, can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race
Feels like I'm losing 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 looking for revenge
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end

(I was) Walking the tight rope, steppin on my friends
Walking the tight rope, (it) was a shame and a sin
Walking the tight rope, between wrong and right
Walking the tight rope, both day and night (Solo)

Looking back in front of me, in the mirror's 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 walking the tightrope
Trying to make it right
Walking the tight rope
Every day and every night
Walking the tight rope
Bring it all around
Walking the tight rope
From the lost to found
Walking the tight rope
Streched around the world
Walking the tight rope
Save the boys and girls
Walking the tight rope
Let's make it right
Walking the tight rope
Do it, do it tonight
Walkin the tightrope
