Walk With Me
Like a tightrope walkerI take one stepThen anotherAcross the knife edgeHoping to maintain a balanceUp here hope is present and clearDown there, despair and his companion fearTime won't let me stand stillSo I take one stepThen anotherHoping to stay uprightHoping to keep controlOne trip and you may slipOne fall and its all.... overBut I can't help looking downWalk with meKeep your eyes frontAnd take one stepThen anotherNo going backwardsThis is a one way system my friendThe wind catches youYou nearly fallBut not this dayToday you hold onAnd take one stepThen anotherThrough lifeNo stoppingThere is no pause buttonYou tireYour feet bleedBut still you take one stepThen anotherThen anotherUntil the dayThat final dayYou take your last stepLike Karl WallendaLike Solomon PaprinskijLike all that ever have beenLike all that ever will beLike all that walk the knife edgeTaking one stepThen anotherHoping to maintain a balance.
