Prime Mover Lyrics

The song Prime Mover is performed by Rush in the album named Hold Your Fire in the year 1997 .



Basic elemental instinct to survive
Stirs the higher pa*sions, thrill to be alive
Alternating currents in a tidewater surge
Rational resistance to an unwise urge

Anything can happen
From the point of conception, to the moment of truth
At the point of surrender, to the burden of proof
From the point of ignition, to the final drive
The point of the journey is not to arrive
Anything can happen

Basic temperamental filters on our eyes
Alter our perceptions lenses polarize
Alternating currents force a show of hands
Rational responses force a change of plans

Anything can happen
From a point on the compa*s, to magnetic north
The point of the needle moving back and forth
From the point of entry, until the candle is burned
The point of departure is not to return
Anything can happen

I set the wheels in motion, turn up all the machines
Activate the programs and run behind the scene
I set the clouds in motion, turn up light and sound
Activate the window and watch the world go 'round

From the point of conception, to the moment of truth
At the point of surrender, to the burden of proof
From the point of ignition, to the final drive
The point of a journey is not to arrive
Anything can happen

Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
The point of surrender
Anything can happen
Point of a journey
Anything can
