Freewill lyrics

Song information

Artist: Rush
Album: Chronicles

Lyrics

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance

A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign..."
Blame is better to give than receive

Chorus
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in lotusland

All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate

Chorus

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

Chorus
