Rain falls, you know it’s got to rain
The sky lifts it up and lets it down again
And it’s alright you must accept your part
Being the first to finish and the last to start

And when you meet me on the ledge, we’ll all be singing art again
And if you must the job away, I’m not afraid
We’ll meet another day

Flame burns, it burns its fuel away
It lights up the dark night and warms a cold, cold day
But if you burn too strong, you might expend your heart
Being the first to finish and the last to start
The first to finish and the last to start
The first to finish
And the last
