|
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 cloud |
|
Conceiving the heavens |
|
Clear of misty shroud |
|
Higher and higher |
|
Now we've learned to play with fire |
|
Go higher and higher and higher |
|
Vast vision must improve our sight |
|
Perhaps at last we'll see and end |
|
To our homes endless blight |
|
And the beginning of the free |
|
Climb to tranquility |
|
Finding its real worth |
|
Conceiving the heavens |
|
Florishing on earth |
|
Higher and higher |
|
Now we've learned to play with fire |
|
Go higher and higher and higher |
