Rush - 2112: III. Discovery lyrics

Iii. Discovery Words by Neil Peart, Music by Alex Lifeson ... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was Hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the Dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in My hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was Beautiful"... ... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn The keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the Wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious Sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could Be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the Priests about it! ... " What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The Priests praise my name on this night
