lyrics

Girl, don’t act so manic.
I promise you we’re gonna be fine.
Ain’t no need to panic.
I’m telling you we’ll get our chance to shine.
I got some reassurance
that things are gonna work this time.
You know that we’ve been walking a dangerous line while all the world’s been spinning on a dime
We go leaning out over the roof ledge. We should try to sit still.
We keep sliding on the knife edge ...
like to get the both of us killed
But He’s got the whole world in his hands. He’s got the whole wide world in his hands.
_________________

Don’t the new look frightening?
We have come so far so fast.
We’re like bottled lightning.
But how we supposed to make it last?
Love is life’s assurance,
no matter how the dice get cast.
The shell of fortune will turn again
& what’s present now will soon be past.
We go leaning out over the roof ledge when we should try to sit still
We keep sliding up and down the knife edge, like to get the both of us killed.
But He’s got the whole world in his hands. He’s got the whole wide world in his hands.
________________

Well just remember - Well just remember what is really and truly and deeply true.
And any time you can remember that you’ll get happy and smile the whole day through. All you are is just a tiny God-soul, paddling life’s canoe.
Just take a ride down the river.
Take a ride down the river & do what good that you can find to do.
Do what good you can do.
Do whatever good you can do... riding down the river ... in your little canoe.
Maybe you’ll find you little canoe is, on occasion, big enough for two.
Bang the groove ... on the groove on what is really true now ...
... on what good you can do.
