It's hard to explain the way things go, gravity pulls more than you know
Every step is a heavier load, gathering stones to have and to hold
But how can you make it across the high wire, you've got to let ‘em go if you want to go higher
Evangeline, don't you look down, you’ve got to believe
Keep your eyes on me, don't give up now, Evangeline
One step at a time gets you where you're going
Wondering where else you could be is it even worth knowing
Every day you say that you're tired
Breathe with me baby, we're doing just fine
That sweet vibrancy's grown weary and grey, all of your eloquence is losing its aim
Evangeline, don't you look down, you’ve got to believe
Keep your eyes on me, don't give up now, Evangeline
Don’t you give up, don’t give up, keep your eyes on me
Don’t you give up, don’t give up, you’ve got to believe
Don’t you give up, don’t give up, I’ll be what you need
Don’t you give up, don’t give up, keep your eyes on me
Evangeline, don't you look down, you’ve got to believe
Keep your eyes on me, don't give up now, Evangeline
Evangeline, don't you look down, you’ve got to believe
Keep your eyes on me, don't give up now, Evangeline
