Chaka Khan Hire Wire - The Aerialist
Up on the wire
I like to climb and play with the sky
The people far below
The air is clear and I can perceive
The whole world is smiling
Life is sublime
And when you dare to go up in the air
And leave the Earth far behind you
As I step and dip and leap into a space beyond
Up high, just for a moment
Alive and so afraid but alive
As I push against the sky
And my heart has open free
Fear turns to joy
When you can race the edge of the sky
And life's intense and strong
It's not too long before you run
Beyond your horizons
Up on the wire
The line is thin and you must know
And surf against the sky so precisely
But the [Incomprehensible] go on as far as you can see
Up high, just for this moment
Alive, yet so afraid but alive
And the wires disappear
And you've finally broken free
Up on the wire
I like to climb and play with the sky
The people far below
The air is clear and I can perceive
The whole world is smiling, yeah
Life is sublime
And when you dare to go up in the air
And leave the Earth far behind you
As I step and dip and leap into a space beyond
Up high, just for this moment
Alive and so afraid but alive
As I rush against the sky
And my heart has broken free
Broken free, broken free
Up high
