Lyrics Pro Bono

After my first few listens of the latest album from U2 entitled,

"No Line On The Horizon",

I thought I'd share a few random poetic moments from the CD...

enjoy...

"Here's where we gotta be

Love and community

Laughter is eternity

If joy is real"

lyrics by Bono, "Get On Your Boots"

"I can stand up for hope, faith, love

but while I'm getting over certainty

Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady"

lyrics by Bono, "Stand Up Comedy"

"Every generation gets a chance to change the world

Pity the nation that will listen to your boys and girls

'Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard"

lyrics by Bono, "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight"

"I was speeding on the subway

Through the stations of the cross

Every eye looking every other way

Counting down 'til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender

Of vision over visibility

I did not notice the passers-by

And they did not notice me"

lyrics by Bono, "Moment of Surrender"

"I was born

I was born to sing for you

I didn't have a choice but to lift you up

And sing whatever song you wanted me to

I give you back my voice

From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise...

Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love can heal such a scar

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify

The Magnificent"

lyrics by Bono and the Edge, "Magnificent"

be God's!
