Turning the Unfavorable into a Positive #newsong "On a High Wire" #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

"On a High Wire" at  Soundcloud

From the deepest point of the edge I've been is where this came from.  I refused to take an unfavorable, conflicting day as a bad one and turned it into a great song. This is very rough. I used a Zoom USB mic and was in my living room while writing it at the same time.

"On a High Wire" Lyrics

Up On a High Wire

Verse

You’ve got me

everything you need

to watch me walk high

On that tightrope

giving me a chance

to show who I am

Chorus

Come watch me walk high

like on a high wire

I’ll be so good at me

like never before

Verse

How long do I have

before this is taken away

before I have to walk wild

come to me my thoughts

the precious ones I have

all I’ve been left with

(where everything else has been taken)

Chorus

Verse

I will sneak that fly

while I have the moment

when your heads turned

the feeling to be alive

and be me for one more time

they don’t last long

are always taken away

before I finish my thoughts

Chorus

Come watch me walk high

like on a high wire

I’ll be so good at me

like never before
