The Great Valerio Lyrics

The Great Valerio lyrics

High up above the crowd

The great Valerio is walking

The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud

And time stands still while he is walking



His eye is steady on the target

His foot is sure upon the rope

Alone and peaceful as a mountain

And certain as the mountain slope



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

'€˜Till our hearts turn like the seasons

And we are acrobats of love



How we wonder, how we wonder

Watching far below

We would all be that great hero

The great Valerio



Come all you upstart jugglers

Are you really ready yet?

Who will help the tightrope walker

When he tumbles to the net



So come with me to see Valerio

As he dances through the air

I'm your friend until you use me

And then be sure I won't be there



How we wonder, how we wonder

Watching far below

We would all be that great hero

The great Valerio
