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
