Making Memories
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart

There's a time for feeling as good as we can
The time is now, and there's no stopping us
There's a time for living as high as we can
Behind us you will only see our dust

So we'll just keep smiling, move onward ev'ry day
Try to keep our thoughts away from home
We're travelling all around, no time to settle down
Satisfy our wanderlust to roam.

   You know we're having good days
   And we hope they're going to last
   Our future still looks brighter
   Than our past
   We feel no need to worry
   No reason to be sad
   Our memories remind us
   Maybe road life's not so bad

From sea to shining sea and a hundred points between
Still we go on digging every show
The cities in the land all extend a welcome hand
Till morning when it's time for us to go.

2112
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart

II. Temples of Syrinx
..."The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the Heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..."

We've taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure
To your eye
One for all and all for one
Work together
Common sons
Never need to wonder
How or why

We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers
Fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life
Are held within our walls

Look around this world we made
Equality
Our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood
Of Man
What a nice contented world
Let the banners
Be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly
High in hand.
