Strum
D-DU-UDU
High up above the crowd
The graet Valerio is walking
His rope sems hung from cloud to cloud
Time stands still while he is walking
His eye is steady on the target
His foot is sure upon the rope
Alone and peacefull as a mountain
And certain as a mountain slope
(Chorus)
How we wonder, how we wonder
Watching far below
We would all be that great hero
The great Valerio
We falter at the sight
We stumble in the mire
Fools who think they see the light
Prepare to balance on the wire
But we learn to watch together
And feed on what we see above
Until our hearts turn like the season
And we are acrobats of love
(Chorus)
Come all you upstart jugglers
Are you really ready yet
Who will help the tightrope walker
As he stumbles to the net
Come and see Valerio
As he dances through the air
I'm your friend untill you use me
And then be sure that I'll be there
