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
