Silver Tightrope Lyrics

I close my eyes to the 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 passing

of beings bathed in light

But they just smile, their eyes not asking

to see beyond their sight



I thought I saw the candle bearers

on their way to the beyond

Beckon to me from the future

To come and join their throng



I stepped upon the silver tightrope

Balancing beliefs

And wings unfurling with a new hope

I left behind my grief
