I'm the juggler of life
Walking on a tightrope
Yours, mine and the world's
I'm the juggler of life
Walking on a tightrope
I juggle red herrings of hope
Keep them suspended in mid air
A million lives held in my hands
And balls may bounce but never fall
And that's the mystery of it all
I defy gravity and its laws
A spin of worlds, of joys and sorrows
Tossing them 'round and 'round again
From yesterdays I build tomorrows
Mystical hands tossing destinies high
The random paths in which I walk
I put the chaos back in order
In windy storms I am the rock
I think too much depends on me
And if I tire how will it be
What will happen to each ball
Which ones will stand, which ones will fall?
I'm the juggler of life
Walking on a tightrope
Yours, mine and the world's
I'm the juggler of life
Walking on a tightrope
I juggle red herrings of hope
Never a reckless gesture
And never a failing thought
I never sleep, and never rest
And I can never be distraught
I think too much depends on me
And if I tire how will it be
What will happen to each ball
Which ones will stand, which ones will fall?
Keep them suspended in mid air
A million lives held in my hands
And balls may bounce but never fall
And that's the mystery of it all
