The Balancing Act
My angel
So much I'd like to tell you
So much of what I've seen
I'd plant behind your eyes
My angel
I know I can't compel you
To any of my ways
As you walk beneath the merciless sky
My angel
My angel
The more I see, the more I grow
The less that I seem to know
Only that
Life is just a balancing act.
The demons
The fear that will confine you
The fire that will burn
Your innocence away.
The heartbreak
The pain will seek and find you
The loneliness will grow
With each passing day.
My angel
My angel
I won't always be there to dry
The tears that gently fill your eyes
So will you remember that
Life is just a balancing act.
My angel
My angel
The more I see, the more I grow
The less that I seem to know
Only that
Life is just a balancing act
Only that
Life is just a balancing act.
