Tightrope-  Stevie Ray Vaughan  from the LP  "In Step"

He picked up a 2 year chip from one of my homegroups in DC when I picked up a 6 month chip.

Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath,
knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race,
feels like I'm losin' time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace,
heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge,
thank God it never found me would have been the end

I was walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope it was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope both day and night

Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin,
through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is,
my heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found

Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope

"Change It"   SRV

You can't change it....Can't re-arrange it
If time is all that we got....Then baby let's take it

Lovin' is a lovin'....The moment is a-right
It's worth all the years in the past....Let's go one more night

Get away from the blind side of life
Honey I want you to be by my side
Me and my back door moves ain't no more....No more

Get away from the blind side of life
Honey I want you to be by my side
Me and my back door moves ain't no more....No more

Get away from the blind side of life
Honey I want you to be by my side
Me and my back door moves ain't no more....No more

Goodnight my darlin'....Another day has passed
Forget all those painful memories....Our love's gonna last

Come to me baby....Come to me one more time
It's time we got movin'....Time to move on
Let's slide out the door....Let's slide out the door
Ride our way home....Let's glide our way home

Let's go....Let's go....Let's go....Let's go
Let's go....Let's go....I've come back for more

(My first attempt at posting a link to a youtube video.  Hope it works.)

After 9-11-2001, Sting performed this song at the opening of the winter olympics in Salt Lake City.  Nothing could speak more eloquently to my heart at a time when I was wondering how much worse our inhumanity to each other could get.

I stlll cry when I hear it.
