Oh, I can't see the faces
Of the people down below
So high above the pavements
So far from all I know

Afraid to take the next step
As I balance in the air
It's easy to look down when you're scared

I'm a man on a wire
What if I stumble and start to fall?
I've never been higher
What if I dare to risk it all?
Gravity, I'm leaving now
I'm a man on a wire
I'm a man on a wire

Silence is so lonely
When you're high above the crowd
And I'm wishing you could reach me
And gently held me down

I'm staring at the people
They don't seem to understand
It's easy to be brave on the ground

I'm a man on a wire
What if I stumble and start to fall?
I've never been higher
What if I dare to risk it all?
Gravity, release me now
I'm a man on a wire
I'm a man on a wire
I'm a man on a wire
I'm a man on a wire

Don't let me be the man who climbs so high
But never saw the other side
Don't let me be the man who reached through hearth
Came so close
But missed the price

I'm a man on a wire
Maybe you'll wonder, will I fall?
But I've never been higher
I'm a man on a wire
