Mission |
| Hold your fire -- |
| Keep it burning bright |
| Hold the flame 'til the dream ignites -- |
| A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission |
| I hear their passionate music |
| Read the words that touch my heart |
| I gaze at their feverish pictures |
| The secrets that set them apart |
| When I feel the powerful visions |
| Their fire has made alive |
| I wish I had that instinct -- I wish I had that drive |
| Spirits fly on dangerous missions |
| Imaginations on fire |
| Focused high on soaring ambitions |
| Consumed in a single desire |
| In the grip of a nameless possession -- |
| A slave to the drive of obsession -- |
| A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission… |
| I watch their images flicker |
| Bringing light to a lifeless screen |
| I walk through their beautiful buildings |
| And I wish I had their dreams |
| But dreams don’t need to have motion |
| To keep their spark alive |
| Obsession has to have action -- |
| Pride turns on the drive |
| It’s cold comfort |
| To the ones without it To know how they struggled -- |
| How they suffered about it If their lives were exotic and strange |
| They would likely have gladly exchanged them |
| For something a little more plain |
| Maybe something a little more sane |
| We each pay a fabulous price |
| For our visions of paradise |
| But a spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission… |
