A spirit with A
D

A
dream
E
With a mission

D(this is where I start strumming)
I hear their passionate music
G
Read the words that touch my heart
Bm
I gaze at their feverish pictures
A
The secrets that set them apart
D
When I feel the powerful visions
G
Their fire has made alive
Bm
I wish I had that instinct
A
I wish I had that drive

E
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
A
Imaginations on fire
Bm
Focused high on soaring ambitions
A
Consumed in a single desire
E
In the grip of a nameless possession
A
A slave to the drive of obsession
Bm              
A spirit with A

G
Bringing light to a lifeless screen
Bm
I walk through their beautiful buildings
A
And I wish I had their dreams

Obsession has to have action
A
Pride turns on the drive

E
It's cold comfort

How they suffered about it

They would likely have gladly exchanged them

Maybe something a little more

E
We each pay a fabulous price
A
For our visions of paradise
Bm                 
But a spirit with a

dream

With a mission
