High Wire Balancing Act

Step on the wire
It's all an act
Feed your desire
And never look down
Never come back
Walk on the wire
Practice your act
World is on fire below
And you brace for impact
When the wind changed direction
And you've lost concentration
It seemed like the end
All ambitious intentions
Were replaced by the rapid descent

Felt like forever
You were falling away
Then the wind picked you up
You were flying
Finding strength to carry on
You will rise
And climb back on the wire

Skills you've acquired
Troubles you've known
Stakes are now higher
And you are alone
Long way from home
Walking the wire
One step at a time
You feel inspired
And truly alive
Set to survive
When the wind changed direction
You turn all your attention inside
And you try
To stop thinking of falling
When your whole world is starting to slide

And it felt like forever
You were falling away
Then the wind picked you up
You were flying
Finding strength to carry on
You will rise
And climb back on the wire
Finding strength to carry on
You will rise
And climb back on the wire

The more we require
The higher we'll climb
The faster the merciless beating of time
I want to feel special
And what about you?
The higher we're climbing
The further we'll fall
For a chance to be flying
We'll go risk it all
I think I feel special
I think you do too

And it felt like forever
You were falling away
Then the wind picked you up
You were flying
Finding strength to carry on
You will rise
And climb back on the wire

And it felt like forever
You were falling away
Then the wind picked you up
You were flying
Finding strength to carry on
You will rise
And climb back on the wire
You will never give up
Till you're confident crossing the wire
