Hackensack
Corea Clarke & White Lyrics

Up on the wire
I enjoy being on a high wire, defying gravity and being up in the sky.

I like to climb and play with the sky
I enjoy scaling great heights and feeling connected with the sky, feeling free and uninhibited.

The people far below
Those on the ground, who are unaware of the thrill of being high up above it all.

The air is clear
The air is clear and fresh, providing a sense of clarity and freedom.

And I can perceive
I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of my surroundings, thanks to my high vantage point.

The whole world is shining
From up here, everything seems illuminated and sparkling, as if a whole new perspective has opened up before me.

Life is sublime
Life is beautiful, peaceful, and idyllic from up here, elevated above the everyday struggles of life.

And when you dare to go up in the air and leave the earth far behind you
By mustering the courage to ascend to great heights, you leave behind the mundane, everyday world and enter a transcendent realm of being.

As I step and dip and leap into a space beyond
With every step and leap, I venture further into an otherworldly realm, where gravity and ordinary concerns no longer constrain me.

Up high
Being elevated in this way, in the sky, gives a sense of freedom and liberation.

Just for a moment
This state of being is fleeting and transient, something to savor and cherish as it lasts only for a moment.

Alive
Being high above it all, feeling free, and experiencing life in this way is invigorating and thrilling, making one feel most alive.

And so afraid but alive
While it can be scary and unsettling to be so high up in the midst of nothingness, it is also intensely exhilarating and life-affirming.

As I push against the sky and my heart has broken free
By rising to great heights and overcoming natural limits, one's heart feels liberated, free from constraints and anxieties.

Fear turns to joy
The initial fear and anxiety of being in such an exposed, precarious position is transformed into a sense of joy and fulfillment.

When you can race the edge of the sky
By pushing one's limits and racing along the edge of the sky, one can experience an overwhelming sense of exhilaration.

And life's intense and strong
Being in such an exposed, thrilling position renews one's senses and makes one's life feel more intense and meaningful.

It's not so long before you will run beyond your horizons
By continually pushing oneself and exploring one's limits, it's only a matter of time before one transcends one's current limits and ventures into the unknown.

The line is thin and you must bow and surf against the sky so precisely
Being so high above the ground and having nothing to hold onto necessitates an incredible amount of focus and precision; the slightest mistake could result in catastrophe.

But the sky seems to go on as far as you can see
From this lofty vantage point, it feels as if the sky stretches out endlessly, offering infinite possibilities and a sense of limitless potential.

As the wire disappears
At some point, the wire no longer restricts or constrains one, providing a sense of true liberation and freedom.

And you've finally broken free
Having left behind the constraints and limits of the earth, one is free to soar, unfettered by gravity or mundane concerns.
