On Thin Ice - Hans Zimmer

Walking on thin ice I'm paying the price For throwing the dice in the air Why must we learn it the hard way And play the game of life with your heart? I gave you my knife You gave me my life Like a gush of wind in my hair Why do we forget what's been said And play the game of life with our hearts? I may cry someday But the tears will dry whichever way And when our hearts return to ashes It'll be just a story It'll be just a story Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai... Ooh-ahooh... "I knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake, 'Course it was winter when all this was ice. That's a hell of a thing to do, you know. They say the lake is as big as the ocean. I wonder if she knew about it?" Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

Please take away from me All these things I do not need Use me to keep your conscience clean Show me what to do To sacrifice for you I gladly give my life to you I've wandered far enough to never have given up too much And now I'm offering you everything I am Give me your hand I'm walking on thin ice And I know you can deliver me More than good advice Teach me with your deep love How to look inside And not be afraid To shine You are my destiny The path I'm cutting tirelessly And searching for you endlessly Even when I'm Surely in the heart of you I still persist on collecting proof that You are never known and though I feel you I have grown to wonder if I'll ever really understand Give me your hand I'm walking on thin ice And I know you can deliver me More than good advice Teach me with your deep love How to look inside And not be afraid To shine 'Cause I've been a fool Pretending to be free When all I could do was run away When the spot light caught me Heal me with your sweet love 'Cause I do believe When I open my eyes in front of you I see Give me your hand I'm walking on thin ice And I know you can deliver me More than good advice Teach me with your deep love How to look inside And not be afraid To shine 'Cause I've been a fool Pretending to be free When all I could do was run away When the spot light fell on me Heal me with your sweet love 'Cause I do believe When I open my eyes in front of you It's the truth I see

Meanwhile back in the year one When you belonged to no-one You didn't stand a chance son If your pants were undone. 'Cause you were bred for humanity And sold to society One day you'll wake up In the present day A million generations Removed from expectations of Being who you really want to be. Skating away, Skating away Skating away On the thin ice of the new day. So as you push off from the shore Won't you turn your head once more And make your peace with everyone? For those who choose to stay Will live just one more day To do the things they should have done. And as you cross the wilderness Spinning in your emptiness: You feel you have to pray. Looking for a sign that the universal mind has written you into the passion play. Skating away, Skating away Skating away On the thin ice of the new day. And as you cross the circle line The ice-wall creaks behind You're a rabbit on the run. And the silver splinters fly In the corner of your eye Shining in the setting sun. Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present Tense? Or that everybody's on the stage, And it seems like you're the only person Sitting in the audience? Skating away, Skating away Skating away On the thin ice of the new day, Skating away, Skating away, Skating away

Momma loves her baby And daddy loves you too. And the sea may look warm to you babe And the sky may look blue Ooooh baby Ooooh baby blue Oooooh babe. If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice.
