Tightrope - Jon Guerra

Sometimes I feel like I’m walking

A tightrope from Heaven to Earth

Walk steady, walk straight, don’t grumble, don’t be late

Get better or you’re going to get hurt

So I try to walk balanced and healthy

I say I’m fine, wobbles and all

But some things I can’t fake, it’s a curse I can’t break

No, the tightrope’s no match for the fall

No, the tightrope’s no match for the fall

Teach me to fall in your direction

Teach me to hitch my heart to yours

Give me the mind to know the difference

Between the cart, the cargo and horse

Teach me today I still need saving

Show me the measure of your grace

When I can’t go on, teach me to climb

When I can’t get up, teach me to rise

And when I fall, teach me to fly

You danced on the tightrope like nothing

Made all of the walkers look stiff

You forgave the sinner and you condemned the winner

So they took that rope and hung you with it

But on the third day something happened

You rose up and looked for your friends

You told them you forgave them and that you’d always be with them

And that falling is how you ascend

You said falling is how you ascend

Teach me to fall in your direction

Teach me to hitch my heart to yours

Give me the mind to know the difference

Between the cart, the cargo and horse

Teach me today I still need saving

Show me the measure of your grace

When I can’t go on, teach me to climb

When I can’t get up, teach me to rise

And when I fall, teach me to fly
