Are you really ready yet?
How we wonder, how we wonder
His foot is sure upon the rope
We would all be that great hero
The great Valerio
We falter at the sight
‘Till our hearts turn like the seasons
Watching far below
The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud
Come all you upstart jugglers
As he dances through the air
I’m your friend until you use me
So come with me to see Valerio
When he tumbles to the net
We would all be that great hero
We stumble in the mire
Who will help the tightrope walker
Alone and peaceful as a mountain
Watching far below
And time stands still while he is walking
And feed on what we see above
And then be sure I won’t be there
And certain as the mountain slope
How we wonder, how we wonder
His eye is steady on the target
Prepare to balance on the wire
And we are acrobats of love
But we learn to watch together
Fools who think they see the light
