Žodžiai dainai: After Forever. Between Love And Fire.

(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

(Father) I shall become a man of distinction
{both}We can share our lives, our fire
to 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? If 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
