This song is laying the foundation for the concept that follows. This album is an allegory for life, much like Rush’s “The Fountain Of Lamneth” which also makes reference to mountains as a metaphor for life.
In it, we see three juxtaposed views on life, one optimistic and one pessimistic, and then...
[Verse 1]
This life is a dream
A gift we receive
To live and to love
We forge The Path
[Verse 2]
Our nightmare in birth
Our struggle for worth
In vain we carry on
Our mission to become
[Verse 3]
Adapt to this world
It's a chance we must take
We'll sing our song
We'll play our hand
The Path was written by Raymond Hearne.
The Path was produced by Richard Henshall.
