Man On Wire Lyrics

Look at the man on wire

Near the ledge of his fear

He'll hold his head up higher leaving

Than when he arrived here

He steps out into the balance

Above where all men go

Somewhere down below he hopes

They'll enjoy the show

With desire to be that man on wire

There's a tall man rising

Where the crosswinds roar

Without a tender lifeline he prays

To the ones who walked before

From a daydream to the plunge

His skin starts to feel small

Up here only this void

Could break your fall

It's a dance on fire on the high wire

A man on wire

Look at that man on wire

With his feet on cold steel

He's twisting, turning, twirling around

The weak spot in his heel

After a long climb there's

Only one step down

Only one false move

And then he's gone

To the world entire, that man on wire

That man on wire

A man on wire

Has to face the fall

Trust your feet to lead the way

Or better never walk at all
