Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart How many times Do we tire of all the little battles Threaten to call it quits Tempted to cut and run How many times Do we weather out the stormy evenings Long to slam the front door Drive away into the setting sun Keep going until dawn How many times must another line be drawn We could be down and gone But we hold on How many times Do we chafe against the repetition Straining against a fate Measured out in coffee breaks How many times Do we swallow our ambitions Long to give up the same old way Find another …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart The best we can agree on Is it could have been worse What happened to your old Benevolent universe’ You know the one with stars That revolve around you Beaming down full of promises To bring good news You used to feel that way The saddest words you could ever say But I know you’ll remember that day And the most beautiful words I could ever say The worst thing about it all Is that you might have been right And I’m still not really sure What started that fight But I still get this feeling There’s more trouble ahead So …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Though we might have precious little It’s still precious I like that song About this wonderful world It’s got a sunny point of view And sometimes I feel it’s true At least for a few of us I like that world It makes a wonderful song But there’s a darker point of view That’s sadly just as true For so many among us In the sweetest child there’s a vicious streak In the strongest man there’s a child so weak In the whole wide world there’s no magic place So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face I …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart As the waves crash in On the western shore The wind blows fierce from the east Wavetops torn into flying spindrift As the waves crash in On the western shore It makes me feel uneasy The spray that’s torn away Is an image of the way I feel What am I supposed to say? Where are the words to answer you When you talk that way? As the sun goes down On the western shore The wind blows hard from the east It whips the sand into a flying spindrift As the sun goes down On the western shore It makes …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart (a pantoum) if we’re so much the same, like I always hear why such different fortunes and fates? some of us live in a cloud of fear some live behind iron gates why such different fortunes and fates? some are blessed and some are cursed some live behind iron gates while others see only the worst some are blessed and some are cursed the golden one or scarred from birth while others only see the worst such a lot of pain on the earth the golden one or scarred from birth some things can never be changed such a lot of …
