Life is like a tightrope in the sky Each step you take is to survive Will I make it to the other side When the wind blows, you get frightened Don't look down, you'll be alright There'll be lows, there will be highs 'Cause how can you get by Without balance There's no easy life Without a challenge You can't get there without it Stuck on a ship Out in the ocean All alone with your emotions Say a prayer and try to focus On the moments of your life As you move side to side Stay steady, don't capsize And let the waves come crashing down 'Cause how can you get by Without balance There's no easy life Without challenge You can't get there without it Like it was your first time on a bicycle And your dad. He just let go Ya you're going fast now Heading down the slope And you're losing all control You can feel the speed Beneath your feet With bumps along the road Lean back and feel the breeze And let your body coast 'Cause how can you get by Without balance There's no easy life Without challenge You can't get there without it Try not There In a riptide, there is Compromise
