Juggler On A Tight Rope

At 30+ songs for the year I am feeling that I’m running out of ideas but then I get some phrase that I decide to turn into a song. This is one of those songs.

‹ Lyrics
Verse
One ball in the air at a time
Starts my show with a single rhyme
Two or three balls all at once
Jump on the rope to see my bounce
Add another ball and maybe an apple
Limbo back to prove I’m supple
Take a bite when the apple comes by
Throw them all up to the sky
Squeeze ‘em together to make ‘em fit
So much in the air I just can’t quit
Spread it out to make it last
Slow it down or make it fast
Chorus
If it starts to weigh me down
Not sure I can turn it around
I just might find beyond all hope
I’ve become a juggler on a tight rope
Verse
I try every day to get ‘er done
Seems I’m trying to please most everyone
I wait patiently to take my turn
Juggle the fires but don’t get burned
I can’t look back the way I’ve come
Might lose my stride and come undone
I don’t take time to think it through
Let alone change my point of view
My side view mirror says I’m too close
I can’t look down or leave my post
I keep the horizon in my sight
Filter distractions and focus my light
Chorus
If it starts to weigh me down
Not sure I can turn it around
I just might find beyond all hope
I’ve become a juggler on a tight rope
Verse
One ball in the air at a time
Starts my show with a single rhyme
Two or three balls all at once
Jump on the rope to see my bounce
Chorus
If it starts to weigh me down
Not sure I can turn it around
I just might find beyond all hope
I’ve become a juggler on a tight rope
