Lyrics

The Rope

Until your heartbeat hurts no more
Until your feet lift off the floor
Until they get the best of you
You must keep on climbing through

The rope is long
There's no turning back
But the rope is strong
So never look back

Until your heartbeat hurts no more
Until you feel no pain at all
Don't let go till I reach for you
They say the best way out is through

The rope is long
There's no turning back
But the rope is strong
So never look back

When you're climbing, crying
Reaching for the open sky
I'll find you and pull you out alive

The rope is long
There's no turning back
But the rope is strong
So never look back

The rope is long
But the rope is strong
(Ohhh)
