There is a mission in St. Paul I forget what it's called now There's a mission in us all, they say It seems to get called away They were singing in the jailhouse After being blind he said he saw again More free than the soldiers on the outside Who hung their heads in shame What if I dared to risk it all Be free wherever I found myself What if I could sing through the walls --If just for the rush and that's all… They say there's a mission in St. Paul Everybody's trying to get in the club Everybody's trying to get out So where is this place of rest They say they were singing about? What if I dared to risk it all Be free wherever I found myself What if I could sing through the walls --If just for the rush and that's all… They say there's a mission in St. Paul It's not bread I'm hungry for I guess that means I'm the privileged sort But I'm suffering from the affliction Of always wanting more There's a mission in St. Paul I forget what it's called now There's a mission in us all they say That seems to get called away There's a mission in us all they say It seems to call and call… What if I dared to risk it all Be free wherever I found myself What if I could sing through the walls --If just for the rush and that's all… They say there's a mission in St. Paul What if I dared to risk it all Be free wherever I found myself What if I could sing through the walls --If just for the rush and that's all… They say there's a mission in St. Paul Will you start over With me
