Rope By John Flynn I have a friend who used to climb the walls Of stone cathedrals in the mountain halls Where mistakes you can't afford Nothing 'tween him and the Lord But a piece of nylon cord In his two calloused hands He found me trembling once in grievous fear Illness might soon claim someone I held dear And he said once upon a time When I was learning how to climb Somebody said the words that I'm About to say to you Trust the rope Trust the rope Hold on tight and make a friend of it Even when youıve reached the end of it Don't lose hope Trust the rope There was this cliff face that he could not cross No ledge to grab on, he was at a loss His mind filled up with fear and doubt Till he heard his buddy shout Just let go and swing on out Itıs gonna be okay Trust the rope Trust the rope Hold on tight and make a friend of it Especially when you've reached the end of it And you can't cope Trust the rope Some say ships are safe in harbors That's not what folks who build ships have in mind Tarzan swinging through the arbors Has to put his faith in every vine Trust the rope Just trust the rope Hanging out between heaven and hell When you hear a voice above you yell Don't say no Trust the rope İ 2005 Flying Stone Music
