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
