Tom Sawyer
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Lyrics: Neil Peart and Pye Dubois

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don’t put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day’s events –
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
-Catch the mist – Catch the myth
-Catch the mystery – Catch the drift

The world is the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today’s Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren’t permanent –
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
-Catch the witness – Catch the wit
-Catch the spirit – Catch the spit

The world is the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today’s Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to
The friction of the day
 
This is quite dramatic, which is apt because it is part of the soundtrack of a musical drama called Mezame no Hakobune (Ark of Awakening). Those of you familiar with Ghost in the Shell (Japanese anime series that has been rebooted to death) and the dramatic soundscape created by Kenji Kawai.
