Lyrics

I feel most alive when I am holding my breath
Skipping the high wire, gambling and dicing with death
Up where the air is cold and clear
In the calm on the far side of fear
I am free as the clouds

I’m like a child, a child who dreams of flying
Leaving behind all adult concerns on the ground
Up over precipice and waterfall
The watching people below are so small
I am free as the clouds

Be a part of me, mind, body and soul
Side to side, high above it all
So, sway with me lest we might fall

Fall over the edge, one foot in front of the other
Taking my time 200 feet in the air
Looking up, every eye is fixed on me
I’m as brave as a showman can be
I’m as free as the clouds

Be a part of me, mind, body and soul
Side to side high above it all
Arms wide, resisting gravity
So sway with me lest we might fall

I am like a poet ,I was born not made
I can balance on stilts and carry a man without aid
So sway with me lest we might fall
Sway with me

I’m a Ropedancer, funambulist extraordinaire
A crowd of 25,000 are gathered down there
Bets are taken but no one likes the risk
Should I tumble into the abyss
I’ll be free as the clouds
