Tightrope
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
We work so hard
Without an explanation
We go so far without a destination
In mind
So why do we all try
Why do we all try
Stop
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way out
I'd rather dance across a tightrope
With my bible in my hand
And the world far behind
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
We live so long
Thinkin' that we can run things
But when it all falls apart
We realize that we're
Not really in control, no
So why do we all try
Why do we all try
Stop
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way out
I'd rather dance across a tightrope
With my bible in my hand
And the world far behind
High up on this tightrope
Way above the ground
I'm in the sky and
I don't wanna come down
I don't wanna come down
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way
The easy way
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way out
I'd rather dance across a tightrope
With my bible in my hand
And the world far behind
I saw everyone around me
Living the American dream and
Never finding satisfaction
So as a teenager
I wanted to live in rebellion
I wanted something different
But the most different thing I ever did dawg
Was accept Christ into my heart
I surrendered to him
Cuz he didn't live for the world
He died for the world
He didn't take the easy way out
And I don't want to either
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
We work so hard
Without an explanation
We go so far without a destination
In mind
So why do we all try
Why do we all try
Stop
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way out
I'd rather dance across a tightrope
With my bible in my hand
And the world far behind
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
Yah yah yah
We live so long
Thinkin' that we can run things
But when it all falls apart
We realize that we're
Not really in control, no
So why do we all try
Why do we all try
Stop
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way out
I'd rather dance across a tightrope
With my bible in my hand
And the world far behind
High up on this tightrope
Way above the ground
I'm in the sky and
I don't wanna come down
I don't wanna come down
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way
The easy way
Everybody's lookin' for the good life
But I refuse to take the easy way out
I'd rather dance across a tightrope
With my bible in my hand
And the world far behind
I saw everyone around me
Living the American dream and
Never finding satisfaction
So as a teenager
I wanted to live in rebellion
I wanted something different
But the most different thing I ever did dawg
Was accept Christ into my heart
I surrendered to him
Cuz he didn't live for the world
He died for the world
He didn't take the easy way out
And I don't want to either
