Come walk the tightrope with me
High up with nothing but courage and gravity
We could fall

Just take my hand holding out
We'll keep our wits if we just don't look down at all
We could fall

Here we go on a wire aroound at the edge
Daring the tension of heights we dread, oh, fall or fly
We'll never know if we don't try

I can't tell if I'm more afraid
Of this balancing string
Or of simply staying the same

So give me a wire around at the edge
Daring the tension of heights we dread, oh, fall or fly
We'll never know if we don't try

So let's go on a wire around at the edge
Daring the tension of heights we dread, oh, fall or fly
We'll never know if we don't try
Oh, it's high, high time
It's a fine life
