I close my eyes to worldly skies
I leave behind the day
And deep within me, I shall begin
To chase my thoughts away
As loved ones hold me to their sides
Their strength flows into me
To cast me out of sorrow's blindness
Into eternity
I thought I heard them softly calling
The voices of the spheres
As light years flash forever falling
Away from waking fears
I reach out, try to touch the pa**ing
Of beings bathed in light
But they just smile, their eyes not asking
To see beyond their sight
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
I thought I saw the candle-bearers
On their way to the beyond
Beckon to me from the future
To come and join the throng
I stepped upon the silver tightrope
Balancing beliefs
And wings unfurling with a new hope
I left behind my griefs
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
