(there is a reason I have pasted these lyrics in full... this is one of my most favorite songs of all time... and you might notice, the tagline on all my messages contains a line from this song... the bolding of the parts of the lyrics is mine, to emphasize things I feel are important)
(if you don't absolutley HATE Rush..I suggest listening to this song and reading the lyrics as you do so...there is wisdom here, for those can hear it)
Lyrics:
"Natural Science"
[1. Tide Pools]
When the ebbing tide retreats Along the rocky shoreline It leaves a trail of tidal pools In a short-lived galaxy Each microcosmic planet A complete society
A simple kind mirror To reflect upon our own All the busy little creatures Chasing out their destinies Living in their pools They soon forget about the sea...
Wheels within wheels in a spiral array A pattern so grand and complex Time after time we lose sight of the way Our causes can't see their effects
[2. Hyperspace]
A quantum leap forward In time and in space The universe learned to expand
The mess and the magic Triumphant and tragic A mechanized world out of hand
Computerized clinic For superior cynics Who dance to a synthetic band
In their own image Their world is fashioned No wonder they don't understand
[3. Permanent Waves]
Science, like nature Must also be tamed With a view towards its preservation Given the same State of integrity It will surely serve us well
Art as expression Not as market campaigns Will still capture our imaginations Given the same State of integrity It will surely help us along
The most endangered species The honest man Will still survive annihilation Forming a world State of integrity Sensitive, open and strong
Wave after wave will flow with the tide And bury the world as it does Tide after tide will flow and recede Leaving life to go on as it was...
