When we are young Wandering the face of the Earth Wondering what our dreams might be worth Learning that we're only immortal For a limited time -- Dr… - Neil Peart

We each pay a fabulous price
For our visions of paradise
But a spirit with a vision is a dream
With a mission -- Mission (1987)

Faith is cold as ice.
Why are little ones born only to suffer
for the want of immunity, or a bowl of rice?
Well, who would hold a price on the heads of the innocent children
if there's some immortal power to control the dice? -- Roll The Bones (1991)

Today is different, and tomorrow the same.
It's hard to take the world the way that it came.
Too many rapids keep us sweeping along.
Too many captains keep on steering us wrong.
It's hard to take the heat.
It's hard to lay blame.
To fight the fire, while we're feeding the flames. -- Second Nature (1987)
