Lyrics
DON'T LOOK DOWN
Copyright 2005
It's just the way I look at things
And anyway it's true
You climb the wall alone
And do what you must do
(Chorus)
Don't look down
Don't look down
Turn your face up to the sky
Don't look down
Don't look down
You don't need me to tell you why
You maintain your grip for now
you're still afraid you'll fall
The wall won't disappear
But it won't seem as tall
(Chorus)
Don't look down
Don't look down
Turn your face up to the sky
Don't look down
Don't look down
You don't need me to tell you why
Don't look down - You can't go back
Don't look down - You'll get off track
Don't look down
Don't think about what's next
Don't check the view from where you are
Your climbing will go on
You've already come so far
(Chorus)
Don't look down
Don't look down
Turn your face up to the sky
Don't look down
Don't look down
You don't need me to tell you why
