Hire Wire - The Aerialist - Chaka Khan, Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard

Up on the wire

I like to climb and play with the sky

The people far below

The air is clear and I can perceive

The whole world is smiling

Life is sublime

And when you dare to go up in the air

And leave the Earth far behind you

As I step and dip and leap into a space beyond

Up high, just for a moment

Alive and so afraid but alive

As I push against the sky

And my heart has open free

Fear turns to joy

When you can race the edge of the sky

And life’s intense and strong

It’s not too long before you run

Beyond your horizons

Up on the wire

The line is thin and you must know

And surf against the sky so precisely

But the go on as far as you can see

Up high, just for this moment

Alive, yet so afraid but alive

And the wires disappear

And you’ve finally broken free

Up on the wire

I like to climb and play with the sky

The people far below

The air is clear and I can perceive

The whole world is smiling, yeah

Life is sublime

And when you dare to go up in the air

And leave the Earth far behind you

As I step and dip and leap into a space beyond

Up high, just for this moment

Alive and so afraid but alive

As I rush against the sky

And my heart has broken free

Broken free, broken free

Up high
