This the story on how we lived
The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
With music up in our heads, she said

I've been out on the edge
Breathin' a little bit of fresh air
Big dreams, I took a chance
Held out for everythin' I've got here

I've been feelin'
This life's a circus
Hangin' on without a fear

Livin' on a high wire, runnin' through a wildfire
You can't shake me, I'm not goin' nowhere
Walkin' on a tight rope, no net, high hopes
Step back, I'm gonna make it over

Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire
Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire

This is the story on how we lived
The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
With music up in our heads, she said

Big top, turnin' around, no clowns
I'm runnin' as I hit the ground
Front row, big show is sold out
So I'm ready for the crowd roar, let's go

I've been feelin'
This life's a circus
Hangin' on without fear, yeah

Livin' on a high wire, runnin' through a wildfire
You can't shake me, I'm not goin' nowhere
Walkin' on a tight rope, no net, high hopes
Step back, I'm gonna make it over

Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire
Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire

When it comes to the beat
Seein' that the heads are movin'
Move off your seat
Achievement's what we're really doin'

Freedom of speech
I'm in it just to win it
I'm springin' and I can see it
In the end that you can be it

'Cause it's patience
It's statements, famous, greatness
Movin' 'til you make it through
And maybe you can make it too

Livin' on a high wire
You can't shake, I'm not goin' nowhere
Walkin' on a tight rope, no net, high hopes
Step back, gonna make it over

Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire
Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire

Na na, na na na na
Na na, livin' on a high wire
