i walk across the tight rope,
not looking down as i sway,
for i know,
that the show will end,
if i ever look away,
i can see my goal,
its clear to me,
that it's no different.
than those who keep quiet,
and those who are vociferate.
because in the end we are all walking this tight rope.
hoping every day we don't fall,
or maybe you're someone who doesn't want to stay,
who want's to sway,
every day,
you carry this burden
walking across the tight rope.
you carry it all on the weight of your shoulders and you feel your legs about to break from underneath you.
but you're still here.
you stayed.
shouldn't that count for something?
anything at all?
keep walking this tight rope.
trust me, it's better than the fall.
because if you fell from the tight rope,
than those around you would sway,
as the ropes balance began to displace,
since you've fallen away.
there's a balance.
just keep walking the tight rope.
and continue walking the slippery slope.
Because it's not how fast you get there that makes you special.
It's how many people you can amaze with your talent.
And if you can't walk tight ropes then try juggling.
It's okay if you find yourself struggling.
Tight ropes aren't easy.
Neither is living life.
But we keep going despite,
always thinking twice.
So keep walking the tight rope, do it for me friend.
And one day you'll see it, you'll make it to end.
