Headlong Flight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All the journeys of this great adventure
It didn't always feel that way
I wouldn't trade them because I made them
The best I could, and that's enough to say
[Chorus 1]
Some days were dark
I wish that I could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that I could live it all again
[Verse 2]
All the highlights of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
To what I felt back then
I wish that I could live it all again
[Chorus 2]
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steer the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel
Oh I wish that I could live it all again
[Verse 3]
All the treasures, the gold, and glory
It didn't always feel that way
I don't regret it – I'll never forget it
I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today
[Chorus 1]
Some days were dark
I wish that I could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that I could live it all again
[Chorus 2]
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steer the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel
Oh I wish that I could live it all again
[Interlude (Spoken)]
The days were dark
And the nights were bright
I would never trade tomorrow for today
[Drum Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
All the highlights of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
[Chorus 1]
Some days were dark
I wish that I could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that I could live it all again
[Chorus 2]
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steer the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel
Oh I wish that I could live it all again
[Chorus 2]
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steer the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to steal
Oh, I wish that I could…
[Outro]
Oh, I wish that I could live it all again

Geddy Lee:
This is one of my favourite songs that we’ve written in the last number of years and again it was born out of that jam session that I mentioned earlier from 2011 springtime. We’d constructed an instrumental called “Take That Lampshade Off’n Yo’ Head” and Neil [Peart] had these lyrics for...
