	Story Behind the Song I have loved this song ever since I heard Chaka Khan's version (with Chick Corea on a very hard-to-find album). We took it a bit faster than she did!!! The lyrics are great too, very uplifting - I ended up calling the whole CD "High Wire" as this is how I felt about the whole recording project! Out there flying, on the edge of the sky! Scary but exhilerating. 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 broken free... Fear turns to joy when you can race the edge of the sky 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 a moment Alive, and so afraid but Alive, and the wire has disappeared and you've finally broken free...
