Select language to translate this lyric

Caught up in a whirlwind
can't catch my breath,
knee deep in hot water
broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle
in this rat race,
feels like I'm losin' time
at a breakneck pace
Afraid of my own shadow
in the face of grace,
heart full of darkness
spotlight on my face
There was love all around me
but I was lookin' for revenge,
thank God it never found me
would have been the end
I was walkin' the tightrope
steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope
it was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope
between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope
both day and night
Lookin' back in front of me
in the mirror's a grin,
through eyes of love I see
I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems
that's the way life is,
my heart goes out to others
who are there to make amends
We've been walkin' the tightrope
tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope
every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope
bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope
from the lost to found
Walkin' the tightrope
stretched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope
save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope
let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope
do it do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope
