I'm looking at the candle, burns a flame to meet the sky
I leave the candle laughing, I turn my face to cry
A safety pin returns my smile, I nod a brief hello
While you are building molecules with your gung ho

Why can't this last forever—these things repressed inside?
One feels it almost instantly unless one of us died
It's over, it's done, babe I need it again
Just please, please, please, oh, don't keep me from begin

I need to hear thе colors red and blue and whisperеd word
To fly all day and sing in tune and not hear what I'd heard
To see you all around me and to take you by the hand
And lead you to a brand new world that lately has been banned

We'll build things never built before, we'll do things never done
And just before it's over, it's really just begun
