Inspired by the documentary "Man On Wire" about Philippe Petit's tightrope walk between the World Trade Center Twin Towers on the morning of August 7, 1974
lyrics
There I a man on fire
There I with one desire
There I bid you take me higher
There I a poor boy from the country side
Become the Man on Wire
Oh the movie seemed to go on like a dream
The acrobat walked a mile above the street
Fearlessly, one step towards eternity
To risk it all just for a chance to dance with thee
And in your eyes, limitless like a diamond night
I see reflections of a better life
And I spy, a world chained to fear and foolish pride
All these inventions only born to die
To live is to fly, space and time
All limitations are but man made lies
And there I, walk so high
As a man on wire....
Oh the towers are gone
Drift empty sky now where in dreams I walk
This world seems lost
In mindless chatter and empty talk
My heart's in love
With the memory of the higher place
And though it's gone
When I go there I can see your face
But never again I, to walk so high...as a man on wire...
