Lost in an abstract thought
Dazed and distracted
Winded yet still I’m caught
With a fragment of doubt
Slowed by reflection, but
These moments will pass
Still, halfway up the hill
My fingers may bleed
But I’ve got to get there
Still
– Geddy Lee, “Still”
Sometimes the most beautiful things in life come from unsuspecting sources. That’s the case with the lyrics from the solo effort of the sublimely talented Geddy Lee, bassist/vocalist extraordinaire of the rock band Rush, which tell the tale of how we all must struggle to achieve our purpose in life. Yes, your fingers may bleed, but whatever the struggle demands you must always fight your way up that hill. Anything less is unacceptable.
