Though we might have precious little
it's still precious.
I like that song
about this wonderful world.
It's got a sunny point of view
and sometimes I feel it's true
at least for a few of us.
I like that world.
It makes a wonderful song.
But there's a darker point of view
that's sadly just as true
for so many among us.
In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak.
In the strongest men there is a child so weak.
In the whole wide world there's no magic place
so you might as well rise.
Put on your bravest face.
I like that show
where they solve all the murders.
That heroic point of view..
It's got justice and vengeance, too--
at least, so the story goes.
I like that story--
makes a satisfying case.
But there's a messy point of view
that's sadly just as true
for so many among us.
In the softest voice there's an acid tongue.
In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young.
In the shakiest will there's a core of steel.
On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel.
Though we might have precious little
it's still precious.
it's still precious.

Peart's poetry in this album is absolutely amazing. i think geddy really understands what neil is saying to and reflects the emotions in a way only a friend for 35+ years can do.
i am a die hard rush fan because of the deep thought that peart puts into his poetry and the intense emotion that gets put into all of their playing. its a real relief to listen to a band that doesnt play because of money, and writes about what they are thinking, and not the cliche "girl who got away"

To live, and to lie. That is what this song is about.
"It's got a sunny point of view
and sometimes I feel it's true
at least for a few of us."
And yeah, put on your bravest face when embracing the darker things in life because it is the only way to get through it. I feel the whole album is about getting through bad times, this and Faithless are my favourite songs of the album. The whole thing is bloody good though.
