Lyrics
Mission In Vain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The purpose of my mission was to see the ocean.
I have not seen the ocean, I have not tasted the rain.
And if you will not let me land this airplane,
trust my intuition then my mission's in vain.
Why does time keep moving on so quickly?
Why can't I distinguish dusk from dawn?
Why does time keep moving on so quickly?
Why does time keep moving on?
Captain, I have come a great long distance
at my protector's insistence and I will not be detained.
Handcuffs cannot restrain my choices.
If we don't listen to our voices then our mission's in vain.
Why does time keep moving on so quickly?
Why can't I distinguish dusk from dawn?
Why does time keep moving on so quickly?
Why does time keep moving on?
