Over the Falls

Won't you save me

Engage me

Don't evade me

Persuade me

He's standing on the edge

Looking out across the flow

He puts his feet up to the wire

To feel the tension with his toe

Now he knows the time is right

A final dust of chalk on hand

A certain dryness in his mouth

Everything is how he planned

A hush goes round the watching crowd

They hold their breath beneath the mist

A pair of eyes look to his face

A gasp from lips that he's just kissed

She hoped that he would change the ways

She prays that God is on his side

A glance to heaven for a sign

She knows this water is so wide

I have to walk a similar line

Across this twisted breed of love

With every step I fear I'll fall

No one to catch me from above

So hold me tight here in your arms

When winds of change can blow

You are my balance on the wire

The roaring canyon calls him on

The pole now held across his chest

While rainbows play across the sun

He puts his muscle to the test

He edges out into the void

Cameras click to catch the sight

No going back, just straight ahead

Between the darkness and the light

Won't you save me

Engage me

Don't evade me

Persuade me

Won't you save me

Engage me

Don't evade me

Persuade me

Hold me tight here in your arms

When winds of change can blow

You are my balance on the wire

As if a diamond held his gaze

Above Niagara's loudest roar

Treading softly with his soul now

To reach where he's not been before

Now he's standing on the edge

Looking back across the flow

Seems like he's walked a million miles

I have to walk a similar line

Across this twisted breed of love

With every step I fear I'll fall

No one to catch me from above

So hold me tight here in your arms

When winds of change can blow

You are my balance on the wire

You are my balance on the wire

You are my balance on the wire
