Fire Of Genius

FIRE OF GENIUS

When the world we know began

I wonder if there was a man

Who didn't know that it can't be done

And didn't listen to anyone

But the wheel he made went

Round and round and round

So in your darkest hour

Anticipate the dawn

There is a lesson here

There is a flame that burns

And it's burning brighter now

Almost enough to see

Almost enough to think

Maybe that light could be

The fire of genius

Now there's a clock upon my wall

Some days I'd like to see it fall

So the time you steal's your own

And the time you're left alone

Is the only time it really matters

So in your darkest hour

Anticipate the dawn

There is a lesson here

There is a flame that burns

And it's burning brighter now

Almost enough to see

Almost enough to think

Maybe that light could be

The fire of genius

Is gonna burn you up

One long day away from here

Well history will make it clear

What was needed and what was not

What was working and what had stopped

And it's just as well we'll never know
