Bird on a wire

You're gonna fly to where the skies are blue

World is on fire below

But you don't let it get to you

Arrows fly and lightning strikes

In the blink of an eye you can't think twice



What keeps you up in the air

Trying to live on a wing with no prayer

And what is it that makes you so sure

There'll be somewhere to land after the storm

You must be tired



Bird on a wire

You're gonna find you're not above it all

Maybe it's time to decide

Where you'll stand when the curtain falls

Arrows fly and lightning strikes

In the blink of an eye you can't think twice



What keeps you up in the air

Trying to live on a wing with no prayer

And what is it that makes you so sure

There'll be somewhere to land after the storm

You must be tired
