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 successful 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
