Carefully cut the wire and wait.
|
Life is a series of narrow escapes.
|
|
A chain reaction,
|
A loose thread that we must pull.
|
|
The birth of religion
|
In the challenge of the unknown.
|
|
But all desperation
|
Leads to a fork in the road-
|
We live for understanding
|
Or for control.
|
|
So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait.
|
|
With one eye closed,
|
We'll draw back,
|
Catch our breath and let go...
|
Time is the string in between
|
The arrow and the bow.
|
If there's one thing we've learned
|
As our pulse returns-
|
Timing is everything.
|
|
If life is a series of narrow escapes,
|
We're shifting our weight
|
In this tightrope ballet.
|
|
We're down to the wire.
