One- Man Circus


I should be the world's eighth wonder, you see!

Look at all of these wild, ferocious troubles that frighten you.

Watch me take them all away and tame them with a single swipe of my hand

I'll read your palm.

Hm, from the lines in your hand, I can predict that in your future

If I put my hand in yours, it'll stay there forever.

You can never go wrong with a tamed elephant.

Admire the colossal gentle giant bow before the strength you have

Even more colossal than his.

Tightrope walking? Of course!

I'd love to walk with you on this single, delicate line called life.

Just don't get too ahead of yourself or you'll fall.

If you do, I'll be right below

Ready to catch you in my pool of embracing arms.

You see, I'm a one-man circus.

It's just you and me under this tent

And it costs nothing to watch.
