Don'T Look Down

My dear friend You looked to me to seek advice Even though you knew I wouldn't stand for vice Look me in the eye when I'm talking to you Don't behave like a wayward child Because chances are They always find their way home And you wouldn't know that Walking the line I know you're scared Don't exaggerate Close those eyes Be at peace Remember the days of the old Not the times of suffering Not today You can't always let negativity motivate Sometimes you might lose track You might just be like them Precious child Remember those lovely summers You would run so freely So I'm reminding you You can step now One at a time Make your move One step at a time Very Carefully Just walk the line And don't ever let nothing distract you Especially what's downward Don't look down Just don't look down Save your fears for after the finish line But when walking the line Don't look down Not for too long
