Fly By Night
Music: Geddy Lee / Lyrics: Neil Peart
(original lyrics)
airport scurry - flurry faces
parade of passers-by
people going many places
with a smile or just a sigh
waiting, waiting, pass the time
another cigarette
get in line - gate thirty-nine
the time is not here yet.....
Why try, I know why
The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone
Clear head, new life ahead
I want to be king now not just one more pawn
Fly by night away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
Moon rise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright, or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside
Start a new chapter
I find what I'm after
Is changing every day
The change of a season
Is enough of a reason
To want to get away
Quiet and pensive
My thoughts apprehensive
The hours drift away
Leaving my homeland
Playing a lonehand
My life begins today
Anthem
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart
Know that your place in life
Is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that
You owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward
No use in looking round
Carry your head above the crowd
And they won't bring you down
Anthem of the heart and mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world they wrought.
Live for yourself, there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry for more
Though I know they've always
Told you selfishness is wrong
Yet it was for me not you
I came to write this song
