Rush — Freewill

[Verse 1] There are those who think That life has nothing left to chance A host of holy horrors To direct our aimless dance [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 free will [Verse 2] There are those who think That they've been dealt a losing hand The cards were stacked against them They weren't born in Lotus land [Pre-Chorus 2] All preordained A prisoner in chains A victim of venomous fate Kicked in the face You can pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate [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 free will [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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] 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 free will
