Walk That Line

By Stacie Kling
[Verse]

I’ve always walked the straight and narrow

Never one toe out of line

Thought it would lead me to security

Show my loved ones I’m just fine



If I could be the good girl

Give my best, be kind, do right

They wouldn’t have to worry

And we’d all sleep well at night



[Prechorus]

Balancing on a tightrope

Puts you high above the crowd

Some will cheer, but more will jeer

And hope you hit the ground



[Chorus]

Walk that line, oh walk that line

Do what’s right and do it all

High expectations

Just mean a long way to fall



[Verse]

Maybe my path climbed up

Or maybe others they went down

But one day I looked up to realize

There weren’t many left around



Now I’m tired and I’m weak

Want to give up and just let go

Take the easy over right for once

Crash onto the ones below



[Prechorus]

Balancing on a tightrope

Puts you high above the crowd

Some will cheer, but more will jeer

And hope you hit the ground



[Chorus]

Walk that line, oh walk that line

Do what’s right and do it all

High expectations

Just mean a long way to fall



Long way, long way

Long, long, long way to fall



[Bridge]

But we’re not alone

All who struggle to walk the line

Can be each other’s ballast

Build a bridge of love divine



[Chorus]

Walk that line, oh walk that line

Do what’s right and do it all

High expectations

Just mean a long way to fall



[Outro]

So let’s walk that line together

Cause it’s a long way to fall
