Mission
Rush Lyrics

Hold your fire
Don't act too quickly, hold back and wait for when the time is right.

Keep it burning bright
Don't let your spirit die, keep your fire and passion for your dreams alive.

Hold the flame
Keep the passion, the drive within you lit and don't let it fade away.

'Til the dream ignites
Keep holding onto the flame within you until your dream becomes a reality.

A spirit with a vision
A person who has a clear idea of what they want to achieve in life.

Is a dream with a mission
Their dream is not just a desire but has a purpose behind it.

I hear their passionate music
I listen to the music that they created with passion and enthusiasm.

Read the words
I read the lyrics of their songs which carry a deeper meaning.

That touch my heart
The words and music resonate with me on a deep emotional level.

I gaze at their feverish pictures
I look at the images they created with enthusiasm and excitement.

The secrets that set them apart
Their unique perspective and passion for their art is what makes them different from others.

When I feel the powerful visions
When I imagine the world they created through their art.

Their fire has made alive
Their passion has brought their art to life.

I wish I had that instinct
I want to have the same passion and drive that they have.

I wish I had that drive
I want to be as committed and focused on my goals as they are.

Spirits fly on dangerous missions
People who have a passion and purpose in their lives will take risks to achieve their goals.

Imaginations on fire
Their creative minds and imaginations are full of ideas and possibilities.

Focused high on soaring ambitions
They have set their sights on lofty goals and are determined to reach them.

Consumed in a single desire
All their energy and focus is directed towards achieving their one goal.

In the grip of
Captured by the power of their vision.

A nameless possession
The passion they feel is so intense that it defies words, it's something that can't be named.

A slave to the drive of obsession
Their passion has become an obsession that they can't escape from.

I watch their images flicker
I see their art in motion and feel inspired by their creativity.

Bringing light to a lifeless screen
Their art brings life and meaning to something that was previously dull and uninteresting.

I walk through
I visit the places they have created and feel inspired by their vision.

Their beautiful buildings
The structures that they have built with passion and imagination.

And I wish I had their dreams
I feel envious of their creative and imaginative minds.

But dreams don't need
You don't have to act on your dreams right away for them to have value.

To have motion
Your dreams don't need to be put into action to have meaning.

To keep their spark alive
Even if you don't act on your dreams right away, don't let the passion within you die.

Obsession has to have action
You need to act on your passion and obsession to turn it into something greater.

Pride turns on the drive
Your sense of pride in your work will drive you to achieve even more.

It's cold comfort
It's not reassuring or comforting to know that others have struggled like you.

To the ones without it
For people who don't have this passion and drive within themselves.

To know how they struggled
To understand that others have also had to work hard to achieve their goals.

How they suffered about it
To know that others have faced challenges and hardships but still persevered.

If their lives were
Even if their lives were more exciting and unique than yours.

Exotic and strange
Unusual and different from what you're used to.

They would likely have
They probably would have been willing to give up their unique experiences for something more normal.

Gladly exchanged them
Would have been happy to trade their unique experiences for a more ordinary life.

For something a little more plain
For a simpler, more normal existence without so many ups and downs.

Maybe something a little more sane
For a life that's a bit more stable and less intense.

We each pay a fabulous price
We all have to sacrifice something to achieve success and our dreams.

For our visions of paradise
For our personal idea of what a perfect world would look like.

But a spirit with a vision
Someone who is driven to achieve their goals and has a clear idea of what they want to accomplish.

Is a dream with a mission
Their dream is not just something they want, but something that they're committed to achieving.
