Verse 1
Can’t pretend that I am blind
Can’t go back and erase the mind
Naivety and wide-eyed wonder are far from me
But at least now I see
It’s like I’m walking on a tightrope
Stretched across the universe
Way too high to go back from where I came
Overwhelmed at the miles I’ve yet to tame
Chorus
I’m too far in to turn around now
And I’ve got too far to go to sit down now
Too far in, too far to go
Verse 2
Surrounded by blackness mingled with stars
Keeping a sacred balance hoping I don’t fall
Don’t want to fall, don’t want to walk
Want to disappear like cowards talk
No, no, no, no, no
Verse 3
Hanging there in space my toes gripping the rope
It’s the only hope
That golden thread that got me here
Will be the same
That brings me to the end
Bridge
I know, I know You’re with me
You surround me, You surround me
Your invisible hand is around, around
In this uncomfortable in-between
Where I’m too far in to turn around now

Behind the Song:
"I originally wrote “Tight Rope” as a poem about feeling too far to turn around from whatever it is you signed up for in life. Sometimes there’s an overwhelming discomfort being in between, where you’re feeling lonely, empty and wanting to quit, knowing there are still so many miles ahead, then realizing that you can’t because you’ve already invested so much. But even when we feel stretched across the universe and there’s black surrounded by blackness, He’s still around us and He’s going to carry us through this uncomfortable in between, no matter how long it takes." - Misty
