Inspirational song lyrics of the day: Rush’s “Prime Mover”, from the Hold Your Fire album:
“Prime Mover”
Basic elemental instinct to survive
Stirs the higher passions
Thrill to be aliveAlternating currents in a tidewater surge
Rational resistance to an unwise urgeAnything can happen…
From the point of conception
To the moment of truth
At the point of surrender
To the burden of proofFrom the point of ignition
To the final drive
The point of the journey is not to arriveAnything can happen…
Basic temperamental filters on our eyes
Alter our perceptions
Lenses polarizeAlternating currents force a show of hands
Rational responses force a change of plansAnything can happen…
From a point on the compass
To magnetic north
The point of the needle moving back and forthFrom the point of entry
Until the candle is burned
The point of departure is not to returnAnything can happen…
I set the wheels in motion
Turn up all the machines
Activate the programs
And run behind the sceneI set the clouds in motion
Turn up light and sound
Activate the window
And watch the world go ‘roundFrom the point of conception
To the moment of truth
At the point of surrender
To the burden of proofFrom the point of ignition
To the final drive
The point of a journey
Is not to arriveAnything can happen…
