Freewill - Rush

There are those who think that life

Has nothing left to chance

With 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 arent 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 thats clear

I will choose free will

There are those who think

That theyve been dealt a losing hand

The cards were stacked against them

They werent 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 heavens 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 thats 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

Thats 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 thats clear

I will choose free will
