D           A
 It's cold comfort

D                A
 To the ones without it

G                    A
 To know how they struggled

G                    A
 How they suffered about it

D                      A
 If their lives were Exotic and strange

D                         A
 They would likely have gladly exchanged them

     G                        A
For something a little more plain

       G                       A
Maybe something a little more sane

D              A
We each pay a fabulous price

D                   A
For our visions of paradise

        G            A
But a spirit with a vision

       G A           D
Is a dream with a mission
[Outro] A D A
       G            A

Is a dream with a mission
