A Walk on the Wire
House sees an image
Of someone he knows
A man in a hospital bed
Not so long ago
Always defy authority
Always prove you are right
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
But this was Chase's fight
House nearly lost his leg
Through no fault of his own
Chase nearly lost much more
Because the seeds of anarchy had been sown
Disregard and challenge
Try the unconventional and new
This was the team's environment
It was what they knew to do
Whatever the mood at the moment
Chase held the knife
He chose to ignore the rules
And it could have cost him his life
Like a maverick once before him
A clot has laid him low
He must force himself to recover
If not, the consequences he knows
Cofield finds House reckless
His actions and attitudes tell the tale
It would be best to suspend him
Send House back to jail
But saving the patient
Has changed Cofield's mind
"It's nobody's fault"
Is the judgment he will find
That makes House angry
Teary emotions are not the key
House was right in his diagnosis
A fact he wanted Cofield to see
The truth is House walks on a wire
And with the winds of each case, it sways
Despite his leg, he keeps his balance
To save another life, another day
