High Wire Balancing Act

Step on the wire It's all an act Feed your desire And never look down Never come back Walk on the wire Practice your act World is on fire below And you brace for impact When the wind changed direction And you've lost concentration It seemed like the end All ambitious intentions Were replaced by the rapid descent Felt like forever You were falling away Then the wind picked you up You were flying Finding strength to carry on You will rise And climb back on the wire Skills you've acquired Troubles you've known Stakes are now higher And you are alone Long way from home Walking the wire One step at a time You feel inspired And truly alive Set to survive When the wind changed direction You turn all your attention inside And you try To stop thinking of falling When your whole world is starting to slide And it felt like forever You were falling away Then the wind picked you up You were flying Finding strength to carry on You will rise And climb back on the wire Finding strength to carry on You will rise And climb back on the wire The more we require The higher we'll climb The faster the merciless beating of time I want to feel special And what about you? The higher we're climbing The further we'll fall For a chance to be flying We'll go risk it all I think I feel special I think you do too And it felt like forever You were falling away Then the wind picked you up You were flying Finding strength to carry on You will rise And climb back on the wire And it felt like forever You were falling away Then the wind picked you up You were flying Finding strength to carry on You will rise And climb back on the wire You will never give up Till you're confident crossing the wire
