Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Its not how fast you can go The force goes into the flow
If you pick up the beat You can forget about the heat
More than just survival
More than just a flash
More than just a dotted line More than just a dash
Its a test of ultimate will
The heartbreak climb uphill
Got to pick up the pace If you want to stay in the race
More than just blind ambition
More than just simple greed
More than just a finish line Must feed this burning need -- In the long run... From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light That gets in your eyes
One moments high
And glory rolls on by Like a streak of lightning That flashes and fades In the summer sky
Your meters may overload
You can rest at the side of the road
You can miss a stride
But nobody gets a free ride
More than high performance
More than just a spark
More than just the bottom line Or a lucky shot in the dark -- In the long run...
You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you dont burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
First you need endurance -- First youve got to last...
