lirik lagu you can’t walk the wire – billy sprague
it’s a balancing act of the finite kind
this war between spirit and the carnal mind
it’s a mighty tightrope without much give
one would destroy me and the other see me live
when my grip starts sliding and i take a misstep
i call to my lord in a cold, cold sweat
and he gently reminds me, ’cause i tend to forget
you can’t walk the wire without a net
(you can’t walk the wire)
well, i beg him to put me in the center ring
with a dozen trained seals and an act fit for kings
i get to feeling surefooted with this spit shine on my shoes
’til this crooked halo tightens into a noose
and my notions of grandeur don’t help me one bit
in the snare of the fowler on the edge of the pit
and my fancy feats lead me to hang by a thread
you can’t walk the wire without a net
(you can’t walk the wire)
you can’t walk the wire without a net
when i realize i’m earthbound
and my heart starts skippin’ beats
(starts skippin’, starts, starts skippin’ beats)
well, here come jesus
to walk the wire with me
defying gravity
he says there’s a full coat of armor i need to put on
and a body of believers to which i belong
and a mighty god here to equip
all his children like me so that our feet don’t slip
and my heart fills with gladness at the good, good news
and i, i put away sadness and my pride*soaked blues
and i pray i’ll remember before i forget
you can’t walk the wire without a net
(you can’t walk the wire)
you can’t walk the wire
oh, you can’t walk the wire
(oh, no)
you can’t walk the wire, hey!
you can’t walk the wire
(you can’t walk, you can’t walk…)
you can’t walk the wire
you can’t walk the wire
you can’t walk the wire without a net. no
(no, no, no)
don’t look down now!
just keep on walkin’
come on, take one more step
one more step
(walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, keep on walkin’)
i’m gonna keep on walkin’
(walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, just keep on walkin’)
comin’ to the right, comin’ to the left
(walkin’, walkin’)
goin’ down, look straight ahead
(walkin’, keep on walkin’)
never, never walk without a net!
(walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, keep on walkin’)
come on, turn my head
(walkin’, walkin’)
come on, you’ve gotta keep on walkin’
(walkin’, keep on walkin’…)
