The Balancing Act

My angel

so much I'd like to tell you

so much of what I've seen

I'd plant behind your eyes

My angel

I know I can’t compel you

to any of my ways

as you walk beneath the merciless skies

My angel

my angel

the more I see, the more I grow,

the less and less I seem to know

only that

life is just a balancing act.

The demons

the fear that will confine you

the fire that will burn

your innocence away

The heartbreak

the pain will seek and find you

and loneliness will grow

with every passing day.

My angel

my angel

I won’t be there to always dry

the tears that gently fill your eyes

so will you remember that

life is just a balancing act.

My angel

my angel

the more I see, the more I grow,

the less and less I seem to know

only that

life is just a balancing act.
