A hopeful adventure
   Got missionary ways
   Could start in the jungle
   Feel this way
   Search for an answer
   Over land and over sea
   All the mountains
   Of promised opportunities
  
   I cried out but you were lost
   In a corporate position
   So money's the solution
   Curing all that ails the nation
   But what about the hearts of man
   The spiritual needs
   I'm staring at the starlight
   And I just can't quite believe
   That I'm
  
   Chorus:
   Lost in the fire
   So close to the wire
   Got to survive
   So close to the wire
  
   The soul needs attention
   Like the body needs to breath
   But banks want investment
   So who are we
   Cultures are dying
   But gold reserves are safe
   Can't live in this jungle
   But can't escape
  
   Whatever happened
   To the dreams we shared together
   A taste of wine
   A moonlight song that lasts forever
  
   Chorus
  
   Feel the expectation
   Written in the ways
   Each move of a man give away
  
   You look good to me
   Sat in your ministry position
   An image for the masses
   Making serious decisions
   Talk about, sham about
   For all the world to see
   Your rhetoric's a quiz game
   And a mystery to me
  
   Chorus
  
   So close to the wire
