Between Love And Fire Lyrics

Between Love And Fire lyrics

(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

to share our lives, our fire

(Father) I shall become a man of distinction

We can 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? I 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
