|
Blasting, billowing, bursting forth |
|
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes |
|
Man, with his flaming pyre |
|
Has conquered the wayward breezes |
|
Climbing to tranquility, far above the clouds |
|
Conceiving the heavens, clear of misty shroud |
|
Higher and higher |
|
Now we've learned to play with fire |
|
We go higher and higher and higher |
|
Vast vision must improve our sight |
|
Perhaps at last we'll see an end |
|
To our own endless blight |
|
And the beginning of the free |
|
Climb to tranquility, finding its real worth |
|
Conceiving the heaven, flourishing on earth |
|
Higher and higher |
|
Now we've learned to play with fire |
|
We go higher and higher and higher |
