Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
So many things i think about
when i look far away
things i know -- things i wonder
things i'd like to say
the more we think we know about
the greater the unknown
we suspend our disbelief
and we are not alone --
Mystic rhythms -- capture my thoughts
and carry them away
mysteries of night escape the light of day
mystic rhythms -- under northern lights
primitive things stir
the hearts of everyone
We sometimes catch a window
a glimpse of what's beyond
was it just imagination
stringing us along?
more things than are dreamed about
unseen and unexplained
we suspend our disbelief
and we are entertained
Mystic rhythms -- capture my thoughts
and carry them away
nature seems to spin
a supernatural way
mystic rhythms -- under city lights
or a canopy of stars
we feel the powers
and we wonder what they are
we feel the push and pull
of restless rhythms from afar
