By the Fire on the Wire

Where do I begin?

I think of

the best possible outcome

How do I get there?

Logic takes over

Chaos rejoices

It’s not that I

throw caution to the wind

But sometimes

I will just go with the flow

*

More genuine love

than you could expect

It’s not all for show

I may seem intense

But I still make sense?

**

They think that I should

just shut it all down?

Give up the wild chase

Sink below and drown

But I’ve got a feeling

We’re in the clear

They can see it too

so I get past fear

They take one last chance

Someone will attack

But we share a cause

Hope they have my back

I’m by the fire

And on the wire

**

Absolute victory

There’s no such thing

Someone loses

And life is on a string

When we come out on top

It can be great

So long as the win

Won’t generate hate

In the cycle of life

Let’s do without

Evil

Pain

And Humanity in doubt 

**

How do I begin?

I have automatic reactions

How do I get ahead?

Logic takes over

Pay-off in choices

It’s not that I

Have a Cheshire Cat-type grin

But sometimes

The smile just seems to grow

*

More genuine love

than you could expect

If it doesn’t show

Times may be intense

Make it make sense

**

They think all that’s lost

simply can’t be found

Live up to wild days 

Start a show

Get down

Now I’ve got a feeling

We’re in the clear

They can’t see it yet

When we have no fear

I take every chance

When I have the facts

We all share a cause

I try to have their backs

I’m by the fire

And on the wire

**

Absolute victory

Is it a thing?

We could all choose it

Depends what we bring

To come out on top

First anticipate 

Ensure that the win

Won’t generate hate

In the cycle of life

Let’s do without

Unfair gain

And Humanity in doubt 

**

Where do I end?

I accept

the best possible outcome

How do I get there?

Logic takes over

Chaos annoys us

It’s not that I

Can’t handle the challenge

But sometimes

I don’t know which way to go

*

More genuine love

We have to expect

When it starts to show

It may get intense

And it

Will make sense

**

They think when a tree falls 

It makes no sound

Yet Earth

A wild blaze

When it hits the ground

More than a feeling

The end is not clear

But they see it too

Let’s work past the fear

Here’s another chance

Opposites attract

Share different causes

They will have our back

I’m by the fire

And on the wire

**

Absolute victory

Has everything 

No one loses

When kind care heals the sting

We can come out on top

Don’t hesitate

When all of us win

Don’t generate hate

In the cycle of life

Let’s do without:

Contrived strain

And Humanity in doubt 

**

How do I end?

Follow automatic reactions

How do I get ahead?

Logic takes over

Pay-offs destroy us

It’s not that I

Take less for well-deserved wins

But work to

Share spoils with what I know

*

More genuine love

We have to expect

If it always shows

Times are less intense

Except our good sense

**

They think that

what comes around goes around

Make it worth wild praise

When it’s slow

Don’t frown

Work for that feeling

That we’re in the clear

We can’t see it yet?

Try to have no fear

If you get the chance

To get it on track

Champion causes

We watch all our backs

I’m by the fire

And on the wire

**

Absolute victory

It’s a subjective thing?

Because we choose it

There’s more we should bring

We come out on top

And improve our fate

If we share our wins

Not generate hate

In the cycle of life

Let’s do without

Power in vain

And Humanity in doubt
