The Man On The Highwire
All eyes upon him, drum-roll please
the spotlight follows as he climbs with ease
up one step two steps and higher still
he reaches the platform with nerves of steel
and what drives this man, what inner fire?
he's The Man On The Highwire
and he's a death defier
he's The Man On The Highwire
With arms outstretched to the crowd he waves
the tightrope walker fixes his gaze
one foot's placed, first right then left
his every move all eyes detect
and what drives this man, what inner fire?
he's The Man On The Highwire
and he's a death defier
he's The Man On The Highwire
Is he crazy or is he brave
will it all fall down one day
and what drives this man, what inner fire?
he's The Man On The Highwire
and he's a death defier
he's The Man On The Highwire
He's The Man On The Highwire
