about

Helen Keller said that "security is a superstition" and "life is a daring adventure or nothing." I'd like to live like that.

lyrics

Oh Helen won't you come and dance with me
I'll close my eyes to see what you see
That there is a lie we call security
I'd dare to risk if I could be that free

And live it up, gonna live it up, gonna live it up...
Until it all comes down

Let's walk this knife edge way above the ground
Where the northern lights they play among the clouds
And the day is not taken by the night
Would you see beauty there without sight

And live it up, gonna live it up, gonna live it up...
Until it all comes down

Because we are walking blind and backwards
Across this ledge without fear
And we are just living our lives out of our hearts
Way up here

Oh we are just window washers
Here to wash away the stains
To find in all of our toil
That all our darkness is the same

And we all see through a glass dim
You helped me let a little light get in
So Helen won't you come and dance with me
Oh Helen won't you come and dance with me
