Man takes a coin from a wishing well
Says, I'm not smiling here
Show me love, and I'll show you life
With a happy side
Then, he walks away
Says, I've already paid
I see that Bible in your weathered hands
Still need a story to tell
But, look around at the war torn ground
There's nothing left to sell
It's all falling down
Everybody gather on around
(CHORUS)
Take your hands from the fire, you'll be alright
Balancing high on a wire, I know it feels like you might
Come crashing down
But, you must keep holding on
My mother's gone, and she took her smile
Wish I could see it now
But, friends, I know I have you 'til the end
For a while, anyhow
So, let's live it out
Pick me up when I'm looking down
You see, my sister, I still have my doubts
But, I keep walking along
The mountain's trees singing down to me
I got my ear to the ground
I can her the sounds
Of all the troubles we have found
