the strongest thing
in this whole world
is the human heart
like a perfect pearl
but when it breaks
as it must start
it becomes stronger
in the broken parts
you walk a high wire
a dangerous balance
in between
your life and your love
below is the fire
but you must take the chance
under the blue sky
of heaven above
dangerous
it's a dangerous balance
you can't even see
where is the line
dangerous
a dangerous balance
nobody needs
to see you crying
life is too short
love doesn't stay long
nothing can last
when things go wrong
like Humpty Dumpty
you sit on a wall
but you become dizzy
and then you fall
tomorrow you climb
back up again
make a new choice
make a new friend
open a door
step into the light
work all the day
and dance through the night
dangerous
it's a dangerous balance
dangerous
such a dangerous balance
