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 own endless blight
And the beginning of the free
Climb to tranquility

Finding it's 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
