You can get a glimpse of glory
And lose all sight of happiness
You only learn that every story
Somehow ends up meaningless

We're walking on a tightrope
We're balancing a world of doubt on a thread of hope
What we see over what we don't
We're walking on a tightrope

You can travel across the oceans
To witness all that man has done
And only come to one conclusion
We all end up where we've begun

We're walking on a tightrope
We're balancing a world of doubt on a thread of hope
What we see over what we don't
We're walking on a tightrope

I don't mean to sound depressing
Give me a moment to be clear
If all you're missing is a meaning
Hold close someone that you hold dear

We're walking on a tightrope
We're balancing a world of doubt on a thread of hope
What we see over what we don't
The sky above over the earth below
What we see over what we don't
What we feel over the world we think we know
We're walking on a tightrope
We're walking on a tightrope
