[Verse]
Am Em
High up above the crowd
Am Em
The graet Valerio is walking
Am Em
His rope sems hung from cloud to cloud
Am G7
And time stands still while he is walking
C F Am
His eye is steady on the target
F G7
His foot is sure upon the rope
Am Dm
Alone and peacefull as a mountain
Em C E7 Am
And certain as a mountain slope
[Verse]
Am Em
We falter at the sight
Am Em
We stumble in the mire
Am Em
Fools who think they see the light
Am G7
Prepare to balance on the wire
C F Am
But we learn to watch together
F G7
And feed on what we see above
Am Dm
Until our hearts turn like the season
Em C E7 Am
And we are acrobats of love
[Chorus]
B7 C F
How we wonder, how we wonder
G C F
Watching far below
Am Dm
We would all be that great hero
Em C E7 Am
The great Valeri-o
[Verse]
Am Em
Come all you upstart jugglers
Am Em
Are you really ready yet
Am Em
Who will help the tightrope walker
Am G7
When he tumbles to the net
C F Am
So come with me to see Valerio
F G7
As he dances through the air
Am Dm
I'm your friend untill you use me
Em C E7 Am
And then be sure that I'm not there
[Chorus]
B7 C F
How we wonder, how we wonder
