Closer to the Heart
Rush - Lyrics by Neil Peart and Peter Talbot
"A Farewell to Kings" - Copyright Mercury/Polygram, September 1977
~ ~ ~
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the Heart
The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart
Philosophers and Ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart
You can be the Captain
I will draw the Chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart
