Vision Thing Lyrics by Simple Minds

Direction of the Heart

2022

[Verse 1]
The morning of the night before, I'm wide awake and thinking of you
And no one in this universe could make me do the things that you do
Is no rhyme or reason, why you'd ever stop believing in me?
You took me to another room and told me 'bout the things that you see

[Chorus]
You have the gift, can you give it to me?
I opened up and I'm still wondering
I wakened up and I was able to see
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

[Post-Chorus]
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

[Verse 2]
Raised with revolution, I could find no solution inside
I'd fall and fail a million times before the day when I get it right
I walked into an empty room and came across a version of me
You opened up the world you know and told me 'bout that vision you see

[Chorus]
You have the gift, can you show me the plan?
Show me the way that I could understand
I opened up and I was able to see
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

[Post-Chorus]
I opened up and I'm still wondering
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You have the gift, can you give it to me?
I opened up and I'm still wondering
I wakened up and I was able to see
The vision thing, you got the vision thing
You have the gift, can you show me the plan?
Show me the way that I could understand
I opened up and I was able to see
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

[Post-Chorus]
The vision thing, you got that vision thing
The vision thing, you got that vision thing

[Outro]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
