Lyrics

[00:01] Come walk the tightrope with me
[00:04] High up with nothing but courage and gravity
[00:10] We could fall
[00:16] Just take my hand holding out
[00:21] We'll keep our wits if we just don't look down
[00:27] At all, we could fall..
[00:38] Here we go on a wire
[00:42] Out past the edge
[00:46] Daring the tension of heights we dread
[00:50] Oh fall or fly
[00:55] We'll never know if we don't try
[01:02] I can't tell if I'm more afraid
[01:07] Of this balancing string
[01:11] Or of simply staying the same
[01:19] So give me a wire
[01:23] Out past the edge
[01:26] Daring the tension of heights we dread
[01:31] Oh fall or fly
[01:36] We'll never know if we don't try
[02:14] So let's go on a wire
[02:17] Out past the edge
[02:21] Daring the tension of heights we dread
[02:26] Oh fall or fly
[02:30] We'll never know if we don't try
[02:37] Oh it's high, high time
[02:44] It's a fine life
