In Trance as Mission Lyrics

For just one moment in time
I hear the holy back beat
Events and casual affairs
Just what is moving on
And what is going on
In dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Moving on

For just one moment in time
I want to walk where it is
Sustain a stature in life
Here comes a new type of light
Just what is going on
What is moving on
Dream a dream a
Trance as you dream
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Just what is going on
What is moving on

For just one moment in time
Just one moment in time
Dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Something crashing into my life

Something crashing against white rocks
No calm to my hand
Here comes my hand
City up on my mind
What is going on
You've got to move on
Dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
Trans-American
Living lives out of dust
Dream a dream a
Living lives

Walk on in light
I want to walk
My hands are grabbing at air
I want to walk
Dream a dream a
Courage of dreams
In trance as mission
In trance in trance
Trans-American

Stand by the statue in fog
Events and casual affairs
I want to walk
Heat of the day
Heat of the day

Cover art for In Trance as Mission lyrics by Simple Minds

This isn't the actual meaning but Jim Kerr (vocalist) once said: "There's one line from In Trance As Mission that always freaks me out when I hear it: 'I hear the holy backbeat.' Y'know, it's like a Godly sort of Catholic thing. Those songs - Seeing Out The Angel, This Earth That You Walk Upon, In Trance As Mission - I don't know if it's a sort of godly feeling, or something. No one in the group practises religion, but most of the band are Catholic. I think you get stamped with that when you're young and it's there forever, you can't really escape it."
