Lyrics
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

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

The vision thing, you got the vision thing

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

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

I opened up and I'm still wondering
The vision thing, you got the vision thing

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

The vision thing, you got that vision thing
The vision thing, you got that vision thing

Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK – Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years – a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world's biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.
