No Safety Net (Hope I Don't Fall Down)
Words and Music by Christopher White 


Your arms were pillows,
Your hands were shields,
But you've pulled them away,
And I don't know what the future yields.
Do I go on upward and try for a cloud?
Or do I parachute down?
Is that even allowed?
I'm about as high as I can get,
But where is my safety net?

You held me in place,
You kept me secured,
You carried me,
Through all that could be endured.
But you've stepped out,
And now you're gone.
What's a fella gotta do to carry on?
I haven't learned the answer yet,
But I still ain't got no safety net.

No more safety net,
Above the ground,
No more safety net,
Hope I don't fall down,
But here I am up in the sky,
Here I am trying to fly,
And I hope I don't fall down.

Your love was heaven,
You were a cloud.
When my path was overgrown,
You went and ploughed.
Now you've left me on my own.
How do I go on, go on alone?
The stars are out, the Sun has set,
But where is my safety net.

No more safety net,
Above the ground,
No more safety net,
Hope I don't fall down,
But here I am up in the sky,
Here I am trying to fly,
And I hope I don't fall down.
Oh, I hope I don't fall down!
