High Wire
Balancing on the High Wire of Life
Lyrics
I'm up on the high wire
I am in a precarious or challenging situation
Steady and tight
I am focused and stable
Black velvet night sky
The sky above is dark and smooth like velvet
White twinkling lights
There are bright, sparkling lights
Hemmed in by a wildfire
I am surrounded by a dangerous situation or conflict
A distant lone siren sighs
In the distance, a single siren is heard, indicating trouble or danger
And my mind's as quiet as this cold cold line
My mind is as calm and serene as this line on the high wire
A little bird perched on a limb
A small bird is enduring a storm while perched on a branch
In a wild storm in the wind
Despite the chaos, I will move and adapt
I will sway I will bend
I will be flexible and resilient
With eyes wide open
I am fully aware and alert
And drink it in
I will fully experience or absorb the situation
I'm up on the high wire
Reiteration of being in a challenging situation
Steady and tight
Reiteration of being focused and stable
Black velvet night sky
Reiteration of the dark sky and bright lights
White twinkling lights
Reiteration of being surrounded by danger or conflict
Hemmed in by a wildfire
Reiteration of a distant danger or trouble
A distant lone siren sighs
Reiteration of a calm state of mind despite challenges
And my mind's as quiet as this cold cold line
My mind remains serene despite the severity of the situation
