Tightrope
Alex Clare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your standing on one toe,
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
Your bound to fall to the ground below,
Pick yourself up again,
Over the edge again,
Hold on to your hopes and dreams,
When all seems to be lost,
Just go and begin again,
Tight rope walker, tight rope walker,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
Just go,
Keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound to fall,
Just go keep on going on,
When all you work for,
Comes tumbling to the ground,
Don't let the sadness fill your heart,
Tomorrow may be a better day,
Lift your head up again,
You know you'll start again,
No matter what may come of it,
You know there's more to life,
I'm sure that you'll survive,
You know what you have to do,
Tight rope walker, tight rope walker,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
Just go,
Keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound to fall,
Just go keep on going on,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
Just go,
Keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound to fall,
Just go keep on going on
Just go keep on going on
