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
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
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
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
They say there's a mission in St. Paul
Will you start over
With me
