PER MISSION [Intro – spoken, curious] Permission? Hmm… I’ve been reading that word wrong. Per… mission. Well, that changes things. 😏 [Verse 1] Permission from my parents, Permission from the school, Permission from the workplace, Permission from the rules. Permission to be different, Provided I conform. Permission to be perfectly Acceptably… not normal. I waited for the green light, For somebody to say, “Okay, you’re now permitted To live your life your way.” Then one day I got curious… Who gave them the position To hand me my permission For every bloody mission? [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’ve been reading That little word all wrong. Break it down. Turn it round. I’ve had it all along. [Chorus] Permission — per mission, One decision at a time. I can change my destination, I can redraw every line. Per mission — new decision, I can question. I can choose. Changing course is not surrender, And changing minds don’t mean you lose. No lifetime contract. No permanent position. I give myself permission… Per mission. [Verse 2] Mission accepted. Mission accomplished. Mission went completely wrong. 🤣 Mission redirected When I realised I didn’t belong. Mission impossible? Maybe. Mission “What the hell was that?” I’ve taken several journeys I’d quite happily give back. 😜 But every wrong direction Put another mark upon my map. I don’t have to keep on walking Just because I started that. [Pre-Chorus] Yesterday’s decision Doesn’t own tomorrow too. New information. New direction. That’s what thinking people do. [Chorus] Permission — per mission, One decision at a time. I can change my destination, I can redraw every line. Per mission — new decision, I can question. I can choose. Changing course is not surrender, And changing minds don’t mean you lose. No lifetime contract. No permanent position. I give myself permission… Per mission. [Bridge – stripped back] I once gave my permission To somebody else’s vision. Trusted their direction. Followed their precision. But trust is not submission. And love is not permission To surrender every question Or abandon intuition. I can hear you. I can love you. I can still disagree. Your road can work for you… Without becoming mine for me. [Build – rhythmic] Per mission. Per decision. New information? Make revision. Wrong direction? Change position. Learned something? New decision. Mission paused. Mission changed. Mission finished. Mission strange. 🤣 Mission failed? No. Mission taught me. Now choose again. [Final Chorus – big] PERMISSION — PER MISSION! One decision at a time. No one owns my destination. No one gets to own my mind. PER MISSION — NEW DECISION! Heart and logic both come through. I can listen to a thousand voices… And still decide what I will do. No lifetime contract. No forced submission. No shame in saying: “I’ve changed my position.” I give myself permission… PER MISSION. [Outro – warm, cheeky] Stay. Leave. Start. Stop. Rest. Try again. You don’t need permission To revise the plan. And if somebody asks Who authorised the decision… Tell ’em: “Me.” Per mission. 😏
