Lyrics

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)
(We go higher and higher and higher)
Vast vision must improve our sight
Perhaps at last we'll see an end
To our homless 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)
(We go higher and higher and higher)
