The Moody Blues — Higher and Higher

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Higher and higher Now we've learned to play with fire We go higher and higher and higher [Verse 2] Vast vision must improve our sight Perhaps at last, we'll see an end To our home's endless blight And the beginning of the free Climb to tranquility Finding its real worth Conceiving the heavens Flourishing on earth [Chorus] Higher and higher Now we've learned to play with fire We go higher and higher and higher
