The Walk lyrics
Written by I Hanson/T Hanson/Z Hanson

Well deep in a wood
Where nothing is seen
A tightrope is strung to his heed
And high on the walk
He's down on one knee
He waits for the slow of the breeze
Oh, wow
Look at him now, on his feet
High up in the sky
And every moment extends endlessly
It feels as though time isn't moving
And every second, hold breath not to breathe
And watch as he moves to the beat
Well down on the floor
I watch from my seat
And watch as he sways with the trees
And slowly he moves
But so elegantly
I'm all on the edge of my seat
On the tightrope
Everything's bare
All that there is is from here to there
On the tightrope
The goal is quite clear
Don't lose yourself in your fear
Everyone waits on a walk
Some are long and some small
But all of them tall
And everyone must make a choice
Will I go for it all
And possibly fall
The tightrope is thin
I could possibly win on the walk
Well high on the walk
The tightrope it bends
And nobody knows where it ends
To win or to lose
You're all on your own
Everyone must be alone
On the tightrope
Everything's bare
All that there is is from here to there
On the tightrope
The goal is quite clear
Don't lose yourself in your fear

Ok so now you know one of my guilty pleasures is Hanson music...

I have no idea how to write an analysis for a song so I guess I'll kind of just discuss the meaning of the song. Basically what these guys are saying is that life is like walking on a tightrope...it's kinda scary. You have to make decisions in life and you do not know what is going to be the consequences of them; are you going to fall or make it across? They are saying that although you do not know what is going to happen or when you just have to keep moving and live your life. I love this song because it reminds me that I have to take chances and maybe even risk getting hurt but in the end it will probably be worth it. The last line of the chorus says "don't lose yourself in fear" and that is something everyone has to be reminded of at some point in their life.
