Lyrics

HIGHWIRE


I see there’s hope for me
‘Cross the highwire
There is no net below
Only fire
I know it’s a gamble
It makes no sense
My life’s a circus ‘cause
It’s intense

Strike up the band and
Step in the game
I’ll walk the line then
Pop the champagne

Life will transpire
‘Cross the highwire

I dream of better days
Beyond the brim
Here with my troupe it’s all
Sink or swim
I’m not a showman
Nor acrobat
I’ll take my chances through
I’ll do that

I walk above the rising flames
That leap into the air
That lick the bottoms of my feet
And fill me with despair
This I must bear
