Chaka Khan Hire Wire Lyrics

Hire Wire Lyrics

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 [Incomprehensible] 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
