Khan Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mankad89 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 "Wheels can take you around. Wheels can cut you down." "A whole wide world, an endless universe - yet we keep looking through the eyeglass in reverse." "Well, I was only a kid on an unholy crusade; I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made." "Carve away the stone. Make a graven image with some features of your own." "Angels and demons dancing in my head, lunatics and monsters underneath my bed. Media messiahs preying on my fears, pop-culture prophets playing in my ears." "Wheel goes 'round, landing on a twist of faith. Taking your chances you'll have the right answers when the Final Judgment begins. Wheel goes 'round, landing on a leap of fate. Likely directed in ways unexpected - sometimes the odd number wins, the way the big wheel spins." "Cinderella man, doing what you can. They can't understand what it means. Cinderella man, hang onto your plan. Try as they might, they cannot steal your dreams." "Like the fly on the wheel who says, What a lot of dust we're raising!, are you under the illusion that you're part of this scheme?...Like the rat in a maze who says, Watch me choose my own direction!, are you under the illusion that the path is winding your way?"

trenken Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 There's just too much to remember to pick a favorite right now, but this comes to mind.

Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 His reliance on the giants In the science of the day. He picks up scraps of information - He's adept at adaptation 'Cause for strangers and arrangers Constant change is here to stay. Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight. Some are born to move the world - To live their fantasies But most of us just dream about The things we'd like to be. Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far But I'll try anyway. Time is a gypsy caravan Steals away in the night To leave you stranded in Dreamland Distance is a long-range filter Memory a flickering light Left behind in the heartland. play of light a photograph the way I used to be some half-forgotten stranger doesn't mean that much to me.

No hero in your tragedy No daring in your escape No salutes for your surrender Nothing noble in your fate Christ, what have you done? Ahh, The Pass. That song is just brilliant. One of my all-time favourites, though not a song that I listen to on a regular basis. "You can fight...fight without ever winning - but never ever win...win without a fight."

"Folks are basically decent, conventional wisdom would say - well, we read about the exceptions in the papers every day." Yeah Neil likes to play back and forth with his lyrics like that. Or find different ways to say the same thing, which I appreciate. Not that it's difficult for someone willing to work on doing it, but the truth is so few are willing to put that effort it, so when he does it I always love it. Not everything he writes is original, in fact much of it isnt, but the way in which he writes it is where the art is in what he does, so im a big fan of that.

Just awesome. I also like Hold your fire, keep it burning bright. Hold the flame til the dream ignites, a spirit with a vision is a dream, with a mission. And... ...Another cloudy day. Seems will never see the sun. I feel the day has possibilities... And... Time after time we lose sight of the ways are causes can see their effect.

whoisrush Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 So many to choose from but a couple of examples I like. Hero, is the voice of reason against the howling mob Hero, is the pride of purpose in the unrewarding job. Or Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChroniclesOfRush Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Growing up it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass production zone Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone Being a young teen' in the 80's being shoved from city life - no song made more sense in its day. The last line served to be more than fitting....for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
