Heart on a Wire Lyrics

My heart is on a wire

Is your heart on a wire

I look up and down as the wind whips around

The air's gettin' thin, no net on the ground

My heart is on a wire

My mind is spinnin' 'round

Is your mind spinnin' 'round

Like an eddy in a stream or an undertow

I get caught in the current and pulled below

My mind is spinnin' 'round

Oh, and my heart wants to find a safe place to land

A safe place to land

And I, I want to reach for your outstretched hand

Reach for your hand

My eyes are desert ground

Are your eyes desert ground

Nothing left but the dust where the truth lay down

And breathed her last breath without a sound

My eyes are desert ground

My soul is crying out

Is your soul crying out

Like the scream in the painting of a man on a bridge

Hands on his face, fear on his lips

My soul is crying out

Oh, and I, I want to see truth raining down

To that desert ground

And my soul needs to feel some comfort now

Some comfort now

My voice is clear and strong

And your voice is clear and strong

When we join like a choir in a gospel song

Let the call ring out from the hill to the hall

Our voice is clear and strong

Oh, and did you know that song right from the start

Right from the start

And can you feel the drum beating in your heart

Beating in your heart

My heart is on a wire

Is your heart on a wire
