Circumstances

Lee, Lifeson - Peart

A boy alone, so far from home,
Endless rooftops from my window.
I felt the gloom of empty rooms
On rainy afternoons.
Sometimes in confusion,
I felt so lost and disillusioned,
Innocence gave me confidence
To go up against reality.

Chorus:
All the same we take our chances,
Laughed at by time,
Tricked by circumstances.
Plus ca change,
Plus c`est la meme chose
The more that things change,
The more they stay the same.

Now I`ve gained some understanding
Of the only world that we see.
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality.
These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me,
Just one more who`s searching for
A world that ought to be.

Chorus
