[00:21.73] Carefully cut the wire and wait.
[00:32.21] Life is a series of narrow escapes.
[00:41.27] A chain reaction,
[00:46.83] A loose thread that we must pull.
[00:51.97] The birth of religion
[00:57.34] In the challenge of the unknown.
[01:03.80] But all desperation
[01:07.13] Leads to a fork in the road-
[01:14.51] We live for understanding
[01:18.48] Or for control.
[01:24.78] So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait.
[01:51.57] With one eye closed,
[01:54.75] We'll draw back,
[01:56.41] Catch our breath and let go...
[02:02.72] Time is the string in between
[02:06.81] The arrow and the bow.
[02:13.06] If there's one thing we've learned
[02:16.75] As our pulse returns-
[02:24.37] Timing is everything.
[02:33.39] is everything
[02:40.11] If life is a series of narrow escapes,
[02:50.68] We're shifting our weight
[02:53.20] In this tightrope ballet.
[02:59.72] We're down to the wire.
