(Mother) Here I am, the future is mine
|
(Father) And mine as well,
|
we'll stand at the top of a prosperous society
|
(Mother) Our dreams can become reality
|
(Both) I am in charge of life's great circle
|
I control my path of wealth
|
|
(Parents) Ambitions high, burning
|
The flames burn deep down in our souls
|
To be known for efficiency and passion
|
|
Seperate goals but fire shared
|
(Father) We both need our professions
|
Do what you want but I'll never give up mine
|
(Mother) Oh I can think,
|
I can work, I don't need your support
|
Our love is pale, but it's not in my way
|
|
(Father) I shall become a man of distinction
|
{both}We can share our lives, our fire
|
to share our lives, our fire
|
|
(Parents) Ambitions high, burning
|
The flames burn deep down in our souls
|
To be known for efficiency and passion
|
|
Ambitions, dreams, they're burning
|
The flames burn deeper towards our goals, our needs
|
|
Suddenly, we have been careless
|
A new life, a new dimension
|
It disturbs our solid future. It puts out the fire we both need
|
It's a choice between the passion, or the love that can be saved now
|
See the child here as a saviour. Choose for love and let this life begin
|
|
(Father) We have been careless but you have provoked it
|
Your weak search for more love between us, a blind emotion
|
Should I believe that this new life can save us,
|
a saviour, a prodigy, so choose for love and let this life begin
|
|

|
|
Spoken interlude:
|
|
(Father) Look, we have to consider this carefully, right?
|
We never really thought about having a baby.
|
(Mother) I know we never thought about it before, but I think we have
|
to find a way to keep this baby. There's more to life than just having a
|
succesful career!
|
(Father) No! That career is what we've worked for! I haven't got the time
|
to raise a brat!
|
(Mother) But... this baby could bring us together again. And we'll still have
|
time left to do the things we've always wanted.
|
(Father) You think so? If we wanna keep it, would you be able to take care
|
of it and keep your job?
|
(Mother) Well, I think we'll both need to compromise. But if we work together...
|
I mean, we're still young, we can manage it!
|
(Father) Don't pressure me!
|
|
----------
|
|
(Contemplative) See a birth, a saviour, a curse
|
See these lives, they see this as a choice between their life together,
|
between love and fire
|
|
(Father) With this child we must make choices, it can save us if we want
|
We have a life together, no choice between love and fire
|
|
(Mother) Feel it, this life in me, moving
|
With this child we must make choices, it can save us if we want
|
Oh, I fear it, the path we take
|
Is this a choice anyway, between love and fire?
|
|
(Parents) Ambitions high, burning
|
The flames burn deep down in our souls
|
To be known for efficiency and passion
|
|
Ambitions, dreams, they're burning
|
The flames burn deeper towards our goals, our needs
|
|

Between Love And Fire
|
| After Forever |
