Jacobs Dream: "Funambulism" Lyrics

A seed was sown within my mind  

  And began to lead my heart  

  It seemed I walked a fine line of benevolence or lust  

  A time to focus on the goal I drew a line in the sand  

  Just how far would I go to see the dream,  

  The dream within my hands  

  On the hard road now because nothing good is free  

  And as the sun is rising on another day  

  Do I know why, I have come this way; It's not for me alone  

  But for another's sake. My mind begins to clear  

  As the urgency of vision starts to wake...  

  Surveying the past I see my life unfold before me  

  But what of this vision that was given to me  

  Material passions seemed to rule the world I lived in  

  It was money and power with a sensuous seed  

  It was hard to walk away!  

  Straying from a vision while walking through the shadows  

  Searching for answers making dreams for myself  

  Time was of the essence and I was quickly fading  

  But a voice it kept calling, it kept leading me on  

  Don't you know you've lost your way  

  Don't let your vision fade away - No!  

  Walking on a tightrope in the valley of decision  

  There's so many choices in the chasm below  

  Behind me is the past and before is the future  

  But a voice it keeps calling  

  It keeps leading me on  

  Don't you know, you hold the key  

  And that your future lies in Me
