Do not falter in your act.

Do not falter in your act,

Keep the kitten hidden in the lions mane

And don't let it scratch my crutch to break.

Because no captain of the ship

should be swimming in its wake.

Do not falter in your act,

Keep our gaze trained on your fools gold smile

And not the salty rain rusting our reprise.

Because I see my tears falling too,

In my reflection in your eyes.

Do not falter in your act,

Keep those punches swinging at the shadows encroaching,

And we'll watch the sun rise.

Because the minute you stop swinging

will be the minute of our demise.
