• Balancing Man

I met a balancing man
Walking his tightrope
With a net of sinking sand
And he said
“I’m gonna make it across
And if I don’t
Well then it’s nobody’s fault
But my own.”

I said, “Hey, balancing man
I’d like to help you
Get across there if I can.”
And he said
“I can’t take nothing from you
I hardly even know you
And I’m not gonna
Pull you down too.”
Oh…no

But if you’re feeling lucky
Won’t you stay and watch the act
Everyone I’ve ever loved
Already turned their backs
I’m so alone

I watched that balancing man
How could I help it
With the way he stepped so grand
When he was
Three stories over my head
Grinning like some Cheshire Cat Already risen up from the dead
Nine times




And I was feeling lucky
So I stayed to watch the act
Everyone I came with
Had already started back
I was alone
So alone

I take my fair share of risks
I’m no stranger to challenge
Life’s in the balance

Stay up there balancing man
The view’s much better of the Mountains you’ve got planned
And there’s no
Dreamers here on the ground
Just no-risk, would-be, hangers-on
Who long ago
Came tumbling down
All the way down

And if you’re feeling lucky
Won’t you come and catch the act
Struggling like Atlas
With the whole world on his back
But not alone
Not alone

I take my fair share of risks
I’m no stranger to challenge
Life’s in the balance
Life’s in the balance
