Moody blues the higher and higher lyrics

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 clouds

Conceiving the heavens

Clear of misty shroud



Higher and higher

Now we've learned to play with fire

Go higher 

And higher 

And higher



Vast vision must improve our sight

Perhaps at last we'll see an end

To our own endless blight

And the beginning of the free



Climb to tranquility

Finding its real worth

Conceiving the heavens

Flourishing on earth



Higher and higher

Now we've learned to play with fire

Go higher 

And higher 

And higher
