Territories (Rush)
The whole wide world an endless universe

In different circles, we keep holding our ground
In different circles, we keep spinning round and round

They Stood Up For Love (Live)
We spend all of our lives going out of our minds,
Looking back to our births, forward to our demise
Even scientists say everything is just light
Not created, destroyed, but eternally bright
Masters in every time, lord in every place
Those who stood up for love in spite of the hate

**Call Me a Fool **(Live)
*I can’t believe my dream is over
I woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes
Now I’m one with the fools of love

And these fools of love are misunderstood
Their history is with me now

So call me fool call me a fool call me a fool*
