Wish Them Well

A song about letting go of resentment and anger — choosing to wish others well even when they've wronged you. The protagonist reaches a point of mature acceptance, releasing the grievances that have weighed on him.

The arrangement is uplifting and forward-moving, reflecting the emotional liberation the lyrics describe. It's one of the album's most accessible tracks and one of its most emotionally generous.

For Peart, a man who had every right to rage against fate, the message of "Wish Them Well" represents the ultimate triumph — choosing grace over bitterness.
