My mission is to write one thing you must
Slip under your pillow. My mission is:
Be the pillow. My mission is: Be the night.
My mission is to bring inspiration and innovation
To each recluse in town, to every space
Station captain, to all radio listeners too shy
To call in, to even the stranger who left a nice note
On my windshield that time. You know who you are.
My mission is, be in business forever.
— Joseph Di Prisco
