Freewill (Snakes & Arrows Live Version)

Freewill (Snakes & Arrows Live Version) - Rush

There are those who think that life is 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

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

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand

The cards were stacked against them- they weren't born in lotus-land

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

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

Each of us-

A cell of awareness-

Imperfect and incomplete

Genetic blends

With uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

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
