Words by Dottie Burman, Music by Robin Field

 I was dreaming I am walking

On a wire that's suspended

From one side of the Grand Canyon to another.

And I use a balance pole

To try to keep my self-control,

As I put one trembling foot before the other.

Down below i see a river

Crashing through the gaping chasm.

Far ahead i see a cliff of jagged stone.

If I can reach the other side

Across the canyon three miles wide,

Istill have to face a land that is unknown.

And I'm cold. It's started snowing.

And the wind is fiercely blowing.

And it feels like I've been up here endless nights.

And the hell of it is, I'm terrified of heights!

So I'll try to keep my balance

As I'm walking on the wire.

Is this real or a cruel illusion that I see here?

Did somebody else decide it should be me here?

No, the nightmare is, Iíve chosen to be here!
