Tread lightly, for this is fragile ground.
Be careful not to stumble.
Turn your voice down.
Be sure to wear a smile.
Don’t let him see you frown.
Be vigilant. Be awake.
There is too much at stake.

Tread lightly.
This is fragile ground.
It’s made of eggshells.
Breaking one will blow your cover.
A mistaken shift in demeanor,
and you will be discovered.

Tread lightly
on this fragile ground.
This is a game of chess you’re playing.
The secret is out;
You’d better start praying.
