lyrics

Why is everybody looking up
Aren’t they all busy enough
The world turns as it always does
Night into day without a fuss

The wind is still, the sky is clear
Going up with nothing to fear
Higher and higher with the sun on his face
Out of the air and into space

Once he’d thought of it he had to try
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Nobody asked and he doesn’t know why
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Each time he comes back down to ground
And springs back faster than the speed of sound
The earth is so small seem from on high
Soon he’ll have bounced above the sky

He wonders what will happen there?
With the air thin and no wind in his hair
He jumps one more time until he’s free
So far above no-one can see.

Once he’d thought of it he had to try
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Nobody asked and he doesn’t know why
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Once he’d thought of it he had to try
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Nobody asked and he doesn’t know why
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Once he’d thought of it he had to try
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky

Nobody asked and he doesn’t know why
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
He is an Acrobat Above the Sky
