The Balance
Bless you, Lord
For the bounties you’ve handed me down
For the children I love
As their laughter replaces my frown
Thank you, sweet Lord
For the times when I wasn’t so sad
Thank you, sweet Lord
For the good times and the bad
For life is a balance
And God knows I’m caught in the middle
The tune that I’ve danced to was oft’ times from Lucifers fiddle
The music so sweet, when the worlds at my feet
One dance closer to solving lifes riddle
If not for the wrong road
Then the other would not be the right
If not for the darkness
Then the stars wouldn’t shine out so bright
Thank you, sweet Lord
For the times when I wasn’t so sad
Thank you, sweet Lord
For the good times and the bad
For life is a balance
And God knows I’m caught in the middle
The tune that I’ve danced to was oft’ times from Lucifers fiddle
The music so sweet, when the worlds at my feet
One dance closer to solving lifes riddle
