Balance

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm on top of everything,

Standing high above the center ring

Waving slowly,

Looking this way, that way

The lights so bright,

I can't see anything

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm on top of everything,

Stepping out onto

A piece of string

Moving forward,

Leaning this way, that way

And there's no net at all

If I should fall.

And there's no chance

Of turning back

And I don't want to come back down

And there's no chance

Of turning back

I'd never live it down

Standing back on the ground

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm on top of everything

Holding fast onto a flying swing

Pushing forward,

Pulling this way, that way

It's much harder than it seems

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm on top of everything,

And I wonder why I'm bothering

Moving forward,

Leaning this way, that way

And there's no net at all

To catch my fall

And there's no chance

Of turning back

And I don't want to come back down

And there's no chance

Of turning back

I'd never live it down

Standing back on the ground

Praying hands start to reach and wring,

Everybody wants to mean something to someone

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm on top of everything

Stepping out onto a piece of string

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm on top of everything

And it's higher than it seems.
