Helped By Science?

I want to start a fire
try it in a different way
given wings to be on your tail
not so bold now
facing in a different way
basic forms will be on your trail

if I stow away
our light burns low
sheer might takes it
he's the one to know
got my face low

help me to light the fire
hand it to me on a plate
those who fail could be helped by science
are you sure now
you're perfect in every way
two more lines and you're on your way


will I show the way
can't fight let go
sheer height breaks it
how were we to know
got my face low
