Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat
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
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end
Walkin' the tightrope, steppin on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope, was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope, between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope, both day and night
Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends
Walkin' the tightrope, trying to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope, every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope, bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope, from the lost to found
Walkin' the tightrope, streched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope, save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope, let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope, do it, do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope
