After Forever - 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 circleI control my path of wealth(Parents) Ambitions high, burningThe flames burn deep down in our soulsTo be known for efficiency and passionSeperate goals but fire shared(Father) We both need our professionsDo what you want but I'll never give up mine(Mother) Oh I can think,I can work, I don't need your supportOur love is pale, but it's not in my wayto share our lives, our fire(Father) I shall become a man of distinctionWe can share our lives, our fire(Parents) Ambitions high, burningThe flames burn deep down in our soulsTo be known for efficiency and passionAmbitions, dreams, they're burningThe flames burn deeper towards our goals, our needsSuddenly, we have been carelessA new life, a new dimensionIt disturbs our solid future. It puts out the fire we both needIt's a choice between the passion, or the love that can be saved nowSee the child here as a saviour. Choose for love and let this life begin(Father) We have been careless but you have provoked itYour weak search for more love between us, a blind emotionShould 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 haveto find a way to keep this baby. There's more to life than just having asuccesful career!(Father) No! That career is what we've worked for! I haven't got the timeto raise a brat!(Mother) But... this baby could bring us together again. And we'll still havetime left to do the things we've always wanted.(Father) You think so? I we wanna keep it, would you be able to take careof 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 curseSee 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 wantWe have a life together, no choice between love and fire(Mother) Feel it, this life in me, movingWith this child we must make choices, it can save us if we wantOh, I fear it, the path we takeIs this a choice anyway, between love and fire?(Parents) Ambitions high, burningThe flames burn deep down in our soulsTo be known for efficiency and passionAmbitions, dreams, they're burningThe flames burn deeper towards our goals, our needs
