I could walk on a tightrope right to you Not ever imagining what I could lose My heart, my spirit and my light They all shined for you in the silence of night I felt I was held, never alone Slumber brought promise of a new day to come I was eager, I was happy. I felt so much love Then it was all gone Now I’m swinging with nothing under my feet Wondering when will my arms become too tired and weak No safety net to catch me if I ever should fall Hoping the ground will open to swallow me whole I have no direction, my home now gone The safe space you promised I never belonged I grab onto anything to not feel numb I pray for a life where I don’t have to run I’ve hid in shadows and slept in the rain My cries are soundless to mask the pain I climb high up this ladder, scared of heights Someone please rescue me Now I’m swinging with nothing under my feet Wondering when will my arms become too tired and weak No safety net to catch me if I ever should fall Hoping one person would hear this song I did everything you asked, I fell in line At what point did I fall out of mind? Was I that bad to be pushed to the side? Did I do something wrong, say something not right? Was it me all along? I just want to know Can’t we just talk so I know where to go Why couldn’t we fixed what needed repair? When did you no longer care? Now I’m swinging with nothing under my feet Wondering when will my arms become too tired and weak No safety net to catch me if I ever should fall Dreading what’s next, what down below Somehow I hang on, the strain is fierce The Sun warming my face, drying my tears I feel an embrace, squeezing my waist A whisper telling me it’s not my fate My life isn’t over; a new journey starts And all is supported by the beating of hearts Guided and protected in my true destiny The landing on earth is soft Now I can swing knowing where to land on my feet Cherishing how life goes from sour to sweet That safety net was always there; I just couldn’t see It just needed true faith to be believed
