I can't limit it to one or two lines, but several from The Analog Kid:

 

The boy lies in the grass with one blade

Stuck between his teeth

A vague sensation quickens

In his young and restless heart

And a bright and nameless vision

Has him longing to depart

 

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs

Dances on the edge of his dream

And her voice rings in his ears

Like the music of the spheres

 

The boy lies in the grass, unmoving

Staring at the sky

His mother starts to call him

As a hawk goes soaring by

The boy pulls down his baseball cap

And covers up his eyes

 

 

These lyrics evoke such vivid mental pictures with me. I've always loved these lyrics.

"Learning that we are only immortal, for a limited time" from Dreamline.

 

I think that there are a lot of great, thought provoking lyrics combined with complex, well played music which is the reasons we all love RUSH!

They say there are strangers who threaten us,

In our immigrants and infidels.

They say there is strangeness too dangerous

In our theaters and bookstore shelves.

That those who know what's best for us

Must rise and save us from ourselves.

 

Quick to judge,

Quick to anger,

Slow to understand

Ignorance and prejudice

And fear walk hand in hand...

 

At the second place but very close to the first:

We can walk our road together

If our goals are all the same.

We can run alone and free

If we pursue a different aim.

 

Let the truth of love be lighted,

Let the love of truth shine clear.

Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty,

With the Heart and Mind united in a single perfect Sphere.

I wandered home though the silent streets

And fell into a fitful sleep

Escape to realms beyond the night

Dream can't you show me the light?

 

I stand atop a spiral stair

An oracle confronts me there

He leads me on light years away

Through astral nights, galactic days

 

I see the works of gifted hands

That grace this strange and wondrous land

I see the hand of man arise

With hungry mind and open eyes

 

They left the planet long ago

The elder race still learn and grow

Their power grows with purpose strong

To claim the home where they belong

Home, to tear the Temples down...

Home, to change..

 

Closely followed by

 

Moon rise

Thoughtful eyes

Staring back at me from the window beside.

Roll away the stone

Roll away the stone

If you could just move yours

I could get working on my own

 

From Carve The Stone - T4E

 

I've got quite a few other favourites!

 

Happy Holidays to one and all!

Actually! On 2nd thought! My favourite lyrics start with

 

"Yeah! Oh, yeah!"

 

and end with

 

"Endlessly rocking!"

 

and everything else in between.

 

So there! How do you like them apples!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm talkin' to you baby.
Well, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And Geddy was quite relieved to have a new lyricist in the band...

One of my favs:

 

"You can go out, you can take a ride

And when you get out on your own

You get all smoothed out inside

And it's good to be alone

Turn it up"

 

As a part time loner, I know exactly what Neil means here. (At least I like to think I do lol) ... I was an only child and I need my "alone" time to recharge from time to time.
