Wires

Carefully cut the wire and wait

Life is a series of narrow escapes

A chain reaction

A loose thread that we must pull

The birth of religion

In the challenge of the unknown

But all desperation

Leads to a fork in the road

We live for understanding

Or for control

So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait

With one eye closed

We'll draw back

Catch our breath and let go...

Time is the string in between

The arrow and the bow

If there's one thing we've learned

As our pulse returns

Timing is everything

If life is a series of narrow escapes

We're shifting our weight

In this tightrope ballet

We're down to the wire

We're down to the wire

We're down to the wire

We're down to the wire
