Lyrics

Hasten the winds, light up a fire
Float up the sky in a hot air balloon;
Roll out the sails, make loose the moorings
Follow the sun, cry for the moon.
Gather the rain to water the flowers
Don't let the fire ever go out
Channel the winds to strengthen your powers
Weather the winds, ride on a cloud;
Hasten the winds, light up a fire
Float up the sky in a hot air balloon
Roll out the sails, make loose the moorings
Follow the sun, cry for the moon.

Light up a fire - float up the sky -
Higher and higher - this is the life.

Go for the top as long as it suits you
Do look ahead, do stay on track
Steer clear of folk who just want to stop you
Do look behind, do watch your back.
Gather the rain to water the flowers,
Don't let the fire ever go out;
Channel the winds to strengthen your powers,
Weather the storms, ride on a cloud.
Go for the top as long as it suits you
Do look ahead, do stay on track
Steer clear of folk who just want to stop you
Do look behind, do watch your back.

Gather the rain to water the flowers - this is the life
Don't let the fire ever go out - this is the life
Channel the winds to strengthen your powers - this is the life
Weather the storms, ride on a cloud - this is the life.
