The Tightrope Walker Lyrics

Each step I take defies the ground

A dance with gravity that won't back down

They cheer for my grace, my airy ballet

But they can't see how I long to stay

The sky's my home, yet it feels untrue

For I'm chasing a dream that the earth once knew

The higher I climb, the farther I fall

The safety below is no safety at all

I live on this wire, between faith and despair

The ground above me, a weight I can't bear

Their gasps of wonder, my anchor's chain

Each delicate step conceals my strain

The crowd believes in the strength of my flight

But the tightrope trembles with my hidden fright

The higher I climb, the farther I fall

The safety below is no safety at all

I live on this wire, between faith and despair

The ground above me, a weight I can't bear

I wish to descend, to touch the earth,

To feel its warmth, to know my worth.

But they only applaud the risk, the chance,

The paradox of my dangerous dance
