Lyrics

Tightrope walking, every day,

Work and life in disarray
One step forward, two steps back
Juggling dreams, fighting cutbacks

Bills to pay, and dreams to hold
Time’s a currency, more precious than gold

In the turmoil, I’ll find my way

Balancing it all, come what may

I will not be dismayed
I’ll sample life’s buffet
I will try to repay my debts
No matter just how long it takes

Tightrope walking, a graceful art
They never warn you, right at the start
One step forward, two steps back
That’s how it’s always been for me

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

Say's a lot in a short space of time, I liked returning to the tightrope to finish the song, good vocals, lovely vibrato, I enjoyed the listen.
