"Mission" is a song by Canadian rock band Rush from the 1987 album Hold Your Fire.

However, he claims people tend not to realize that being away from family for several months while on tour is not as easy as others make it sound.

A key verse to express that concept says "We each pay a fabulous price for our visions of paradise," referring to personal sacrifices he had to make to achieve his dream.

[citation needed] When working on the song in Britain, producer Peter Collins added brass and choir instrumentation.

Metal Storm considered the song, along with "Lock and Key", a classic moment from Hold Your Fire.
