In the summer of 1974 Philippe Petit snuck into the World Trade Center and put up a tightrope between the world's tallest towers.
417 meters above ground he danced on the wire for 45 minutes.
lyrics
THE TIGHTROPE WALKER
ladies and gentlemen
there's no safety net
the cable is now tied between the buildings
I will walk straight
I won't hesitate
watch a man achieve his dreams...
there may be a ten-point dive
if you care to wait
somersaulting with an umbrella
one step might live
one step might fault
your entertainment is secured
no regrets, no regrets
the sunrise, the sun low
a flock of seagulls fly
a painter frames a beautiful postcard
mortal coil will dry, rivers will dry
but the moment that witnessed a walking man
fly.
