Name: Highwire
Duration: P00H05M40S
Description: A Chick Corea song I've sung for many years...always loved images in this lyric, and the song is challenging. We brought in Katisse Buckingham on soprano sax for the redo of the previous alto parts, because of mixing problems with the former. And Isamu McGregor on the Rhodes...lovely!

lyrics

High Wire - The Aerialist

• 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 shining
• 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 broken free
•
Fear turns to joy
• When you can race the edge of the sky
• And life's intense and strong
• It's not so long - Before you will run
• Beyond your horizons
• Up on the wire
• The line is thin and you must balance earth against the sky so precisely
• But the sky seems to go on as far as you can see
• Up high
• Just for this moment - Alive
• And so afraid but alive
• As the wire disappears - And you've finally broken free
