On the Tightrope

Jennifer Paige©2000

 

I walk life's highway going nowhere in particular

I know I'll know it, know my home when I get there

But until I do now, I'll keep on searching everywhere

There've been roadblocks, some have been my own design

Son many dark nights when I thought I might lose my mind

But something pushed me, pushed me on to see what I could find

 

CHORUS

Though I feel I might fall flat on my face

I always seem to keep my grace

On the tightrope

When I'm last place in the rat race

And it seems I might lose hold of my faith

Lose sight of hope

Someone comes to take my hand, lifts me up

High enough to stand my ground on the tightrope

 

It feels I'm always falling another step behind

I've got my eyes open yet somehow I'm still walking blind

Through this world, through this life that's crule and unkind

Now I've been broken, I've been bruised and battered now

But I've got spirit, still got fire in this soul somehow

And it keeps me going, keeps me moving down the long road

 

Repeat CHORUS

 

I'm finding my way through the maze of this life

Over deserts and over mountains of pain and strife

Knowing nothing, nothing more than truth is the price

'Cause I've been faithless, I've let faith take me for a ride

And through it all there's been something deep inside

It's a voice that's been walking with me since the dawn of time

 

Repeat CHORUS

I walk life's highway going nowhere in particular...
