Looking For Meaning...still

A few lines from “Walk On”, “When I Look at the World”, “New York”, and “Peace on Earth” from from U2’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind, in a new light.

And love is not the easy thing....

The only baggage you can bring

Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart

And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off

And if your glass heart should crack

And for a second you turn back

Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on

What you got they can’t steal it

No they can’t even feel it

Walk on, walk on...

Stay safe tonight

* * * * *

When there's all kinds of chaos

And everyone is walking lame

You don't even blink now, do you

Or even look away

I'm in the waiting room

Can't see for the smoke

I think of you and your holy book

While the rest of us choke

* * * * *

Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew,

Living happily not like me and you

That's where I lost you... New York

* * * * *

They say that what you mock

Will surely overtake you

And you become a monster

So the monster will not break you
