Rebirth Day

lyrics

Walk the wire

I’m getting off, my bed of nails
I’m climbing up, onto the tightrope

I’m gonna walk the wire of my life
I’m gonna fly on a cloud swing into the sky
I’m gonna somersault out of my act
I’m gonna breathe your fire

I’m getting out, with the tigers
I’ll throw knives, I’ll swallow swords

I’m gonna walk the wire of my life
I’m gonna fly on a cloud swing into the sky
I’m gonna somersault out of my act
I’m gonna breathe your fire

Tonight I’m your ring mistress.
I’m your illusion.
Orchestrate the impossible.
Make your dreams come to life
Close your eyes. Look inside.
There are no boundaries between imagination and reality.
Be the lion, the elephant, the snow leopard, the unicorn.
Be the hobo, the freak, the acrobat, the contortionist.
Be the trapeze, the human cannonball, the big top, the ropes.
Be the lights, the laughter, the children wondering at Mister Pennygaff.

Get out of your mind
Become the circus
Come into my mind
Become the circus

I’ll get on stilts, I’ll touch the stars
I’ll pull out doves, from my scarf

I’m gonna walk the wire of my life
I’m gonna fly on a cloud swing into the sky
I’m gonna somersault out of my act
I’m gonna breathe your fire
