It ain't me
I walk the line brother
It ain't me
on the high wire
It ain't me
Calculate how far I can fall
it ain't nothin!
Somewhere
I see a face in a stream
I watch the dust in a beam
I work harder harder
to break away
from the grip of a dream
On a high wire
I live
and I breathe it
On a high wire
oh no
will I never be?

It ain't me
don't watch the sky brother
It ain't me
or the ground far below
It ain't me
or speculate how far I can fall
it ain't nothin!
On a high wire
I live
and I breathe it
On a high wire
oh no
will I never be?

It ain't me
I walk the line brother
It ain't me
on the high wire
It ain't me
Calculate how far I can fall
it ain't nothin!
Somewhere
I see a face in a stream
I watch the dust in a beam
I work harder harder
to break away
from the grip of a dream
On a high wire
I live
and I breathe it
On a high wire
oh no
will I never be free?
