Close to the Wire

A hopeful adventure Got missionary ways Could start in the jungle Feel this way Search for an answer Over land and over sea All the mountains Of promised opportunities I cried out but you were lost In a corporate position So money's the solution Curing all that ails the nation But what about the hearts of man The spiritual needs I'm staring at the starlight And I just can't quite believe That I'm Lost in the fire So close to the wire Got to survive So close to the wire The soul needs attention Like the body needs to breath But banks want investment So who are we Cultures are dying But gold reserves are safe Can't live in this jungle But can't escape Whatever happened To the dreams we shared together A taste of wine A moonlight song that lasts forever Lost in the fire So close to the wire Got to survive So close to the wire Feel the expectation Written in the ways Each move of a man give away You look good to me Sat in your ministry position An image for the masses Making serious decisions Talk about, sham about For all the world to see Your rhetoric's a quiz game And a mystery to me Lost in the fire So close to the wire Got to survive So close to the wire So close to the wire
