A song that always struck a nerve in me is the song Wire by Third Day. It talks about a high wire walker drawing a crowd & as he walks the wire - wondering "what if I fall?". What exactly would their response be...why were some of them there...what were their real motives...
Read the words of the song...(all in blue)
Turn on the spotlight, strike up the band...Everyone’s looking my way...They came to see the excitement firsthand and hear all that I’ve got to say...
Oh, it makes me wonder what if I slip, will they catch me or watch me fall?
I am walking on a wire...I tiptoe in through the fire never looking down to see that I am walking on a wire...The pressure’s getting higher but I don’t look around...
Everyone roots for the winner...The others well maybe next time...
Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes...Then they just leave you behind...
Oh, it makes me wonder what if I slip, will they catch me or watch me fall?
I am walking on a wire...I tiptoe in through the fire never looking down to see that I am walking on a wire...The pressure’s getting higher but I don’t look around it’s so far to the ground...
Strange stuff...Now, obviously, it's more than a song to me...
The answer to the question he asks is YES.
So...
Another step...
