Whatever happened to the great escape, the finest ever made ?
Crafted with pride by masters of the trade, the world's greatest circus.

We had this story of the impossible, a tale best told softly.
One of make-believe, maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.

Who soothed the lions hungry in their cage
With the confidence of a clown ?
A little man who rises on the stage as he falls without a safety net ?

We had this story of the impossible, a tale best told softly.
One of make-believe, maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.

Whatever happened to the great escape and to all the plans we made ?
Crafted with pride by Masters of the trade, the world's greatest circus.

We had this story of the impossible, a tale best told softly.
