^Am High up above the cr ^Em owd
^Am The graet Valerio is w ^Em alking
^Am His rope sems hung from cloud to c ^Em loud
^Am Time stands still while he is ^G7 walking
^C His eye is s ^F teady on the t ^Am arget
^F His foot is sure upon the ^G7 rope
^Am Alone and peacefull as a ^Dm mountain
^Em And certain a ^C s a mou ^E7 ntain s ^Am lope
(Chorus)
^B7 How we wonder, h ^C ow we w ^F onder
^G Watching f ^C ar be ^F low
^Am We would all be that g ^Dm reat hero
^Em The great ^C Va ^E7 ler ^Am io
We falter at the sight
We stumble in the mire
Fools who think they see the light
Prepare to balance on the wire
But we learn to watch together
And feed on what we see above
Until our hearts turn like the season
And we are acrobats of love
(Chorus)
Come all you upstart jugglers
Are you really ready yet
Who will help the tightrope walker
As he stumbles to the net
Come and see Valerio
As he dances through the air
I'm your friend untill you use me
And then be sure that I'll be there
