Not Look Down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOJgnkg9_lg


From up here she said there's no compromise
I've seen them laughing and they're in up to their eyes
And all their clever words are whistling in the wind
Whistling in the wind

From up here she said you get the widest view
Someone's watching no matter what you do
And if you hesitate they steal away your time
Steal away your time

CHORUS
You must not look down
You must not look down
Watch them fall and you're sure to follow
You must not look down

You must not look down
You must not look down
Their hands are full and their hearts are hollow
You must not look down

Yours is mine he said and mine belongs to me
That's just the way he said it's clear you cannot see


You are lost it's each one for his own
Each one for his own

She said I'm strong I know I'll make the climb
And many others are coming up behind
And soon the child will make the clearer day
Make the clearer day

Turning Away (sung by Mary Black)
