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
Ambitions high, burning
The flames burn deep down in our souls
To be known for efficiency and passion
Mother: Separate 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 (feel it burn, in our soul)
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
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 in 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 mannage 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
