Touch And Go

Nobody said that

Life is always fair

Sometimes it clips your wings

While you're in mid-air

But there's a thread

Between your life and mine

And when you're losin' hope

This rope won't unwind

Hold on tight

'Cause life is touch and go

It's sink and swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call

To break your fall

I'll never leave you

Even when life

Is touch and go

Or hit and run

We'll never break

If we take it as one

I'm here to stay,

I pray you know

I'll never touch

I'll never touch and go

Someday you'll find

There's nothin' in the night

That wasn't there before

You turned out the light

Straight from your mind

The monster 'neath your bed

The voices in the hall

They're all in your head...

Hold on tight

'Cause life is touch and go

It's sink and swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call

To break your fall

I'll never leave you

Even when life

Is touch and go

Or hit and run

We'll never break

If we take it as one

I'm here to stay,

I pray you know

I'll never touch

I'll never touch and go

When you feel lost

You're only spun around

Tumbled and tossed

But never run around

Life is a townful

Of strangers at best

I'll help you home

God help the rest

Hold on tight

'Cause life is touch and go

It's sink and swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call

To break your fall

I'll never leave you

Even when life

Is touch and go

Or hit and run

We'll never break

If we take it as one

I'm here to stay,

I pray you know

I'll never touch

I'll never touch and go

Life is touch and go

It's sink or swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call...
