You can get a glimpse of glory And lose all sight of happiness You only learn that every story Somehow ends up meaningless
We’re walking on a tightrope We’re balancing a world of doubt on a thread of hope What we see over what we don’t We’re walking on a tightrope
You can travel across the oceans To witness all that man has done And only come to one conclusion We all end up where we’ve begun
We’re walking on a tightrope We’re balancing a world of doubt on a thread of hope What we see over what we don’t We’re walking on a tightrope
I don’t mean to sound depressing Give me a moment to be clear If all you’re missing is a meaning Hold close someone that you hold dear
We’re walking on a tightrope We’re balancing a world of doubt on a thread of hope What we see over what we don’t The sky above over the earth below What we see over what we don’t What we feel over the world we think we know We’re walking on a tightrope We’re walking on a tightrope
