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
