(A.Qunta)

It's a stop-go situation
Never thought I'd see
Children acting nervous
In the playground on the street
It's just a reaction
Don't know what they've seen
They've learned it from watching
Don't know what it means
But it's a tightrope

(Chorus)
We're walking on a tightrope
Trying to keep it steady in a storm
We can't afford to fall
From the tightrope
Trying to keep a balance through it all

It's another of those subjects
We never talk about
Learn to go on living
With an underlying doubt
Polish the crystal
Deal out the cards
How far can you see
When you look at the stars
Can you see the tightrope

(Repeat chorus)
