Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson |
|
If we burn our wings |
|
Flying too close to the sun |
|
If the moment of glory |
|
Is over before it's begun |
|
If the dream is won -- |
|
Though everything is lost |
|
We will pay the price, |
|
But we will not count the cost |
|
When the dust has cleared |
|
And victory denied |
|
A summit too lofty |
|
River a little too wide |
|
If we keep our pride -- |
|
Though paradise is lost |
|
We will pay the price, |
|
But we will not count the cost |
|
And if the music stops |
|
There's only the sound of the rain |
|
All the hope and glory |
|
All the sacrifice in vain |
|
[and] if love remains |
|
Though everything is lost |
|
We will pay the price, |
|
But we will not count the cost |
