Lyrics
TOUCH THE SKY
I?m walking a tightrope over a canyon
A balancing act with destiny
Rushing along with reckless abandon
Resisting the pull of gravity
Don?t look down, it?s a long way to the ground
Head held high, do or die, touch the sky
Begin each day with the best of intentions
Smell of success sweet in the air
Then bubbles get burst with bones of contention
Afternoon sinks into despair
Terrifying, electrifying, delicate dance on the edge
But I wouldn?t trade the thrill of trying for the safety of the net
The rope starts to sway, the drop below scares me
So I focus my eyes on who I can be
A conquering hero courageous and daring
Never retreating from my dream
