Sleeping At Last - Wires lyrics
[Sleeping At Last - Wires lyrics]
Carefully cut the wire and wait
Life is a series of narrow escapes
A chain reaction
A loose thread that we must pull
The birth of religion
In the challenge of the unknown
But all desperation
Leads to a fork in the road-
We live for understanding or for control
So very carefully we'll cut
The wire and wait
With one eye closed we'll draw back
Catch our breath and let go
Time is the string in between
The arrow and the bow
If there's one thing we've learned
As our pulse returns- timing is everything
If life is a series of narrow escapes
We're shifting our weight
In this tightrope ballet
We're down to the wire
Life is a series of narrow escapes
A chain reaction
A loose thread that we must pull
The birth of religion
In the challenge of the unknown
But all desperation
Leads to a fork in the road-
We live for understanding or for control
So very carefully we'll cut
The wire and wait
With one eye closed we'll draw back
Catch our breath and let go
Time is the string in between
The arrow and the bow
If there's one thing we've learned
As our pulse returns- timing is everything
If life is a series of narrow escapes
We're shifting our weight
In this tightrope ballet
We're down to the wire
