Lyrics: Chaka Khan. High Wire - The Aerialist.

Up on the wire
I like to climb and play with the sky
The people far below
The air is clear
And I can't receive
The whole world is smiling
Life is so blind
And when you dare to go up in the air
And leave the earth up behind you
As I step and leap into a space beyond
Up high for a moment
Alive and so afraid but alive
As I push against the sky
And my heart is open wide
Be a term ... to join
When you can raise the edge of the sky
Life seem tense and strong
It's not to long before you run
Beyond your horizons
Up on the wire
The line is thin and you must have ... against the sky
So precising

But life is to go on as far as you can see
Up high for a moment
Alive and so afraid but alive
And the wires disappear
Up on the wire
I like to climb and play with the sky
The people far below
The air is clear
And I can't receive
The whole world is smiling
Life is so blind
And when you dare to go up in the air
And leave the earth up behind you
As I step ............. leavin to a space .... just for a moment
Alive and so afraid
But alive
As I push against the sky
And my heart is open wide
