(Alex Lifeson) I need you to hold me tightly in your arms I need you to show me if I might be wrong I am pink and you are blue Can I trust my whole life to you? Just don't take me for some fool When I need to depend on you I am not your part time job What you get is what you are You can hurt like no one can You're such a child for such a man You need strenght, you need to take a stand Just stop looking to me for a helping hand When you're ready I will be here I can help you lose your fear You better stand up on your feet If you ever want to feel my heat Clear your mind of those things gone by You can't change the past, why even try You can build upon all you've learned You can start today No one said it wouldn't be this hard When you share, prepare to give a lot Just remember when you look at me You are you and I am me When you're ready I will be here I can help you lose your fear You better stand up on your feet If you ever want to feel my heat Clear your mind of those things gone by You can't change the past, why even try Look ahead, to those better days Make the effort it always pays You can build upon all you've learned You can start today
