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 ......
