Kneeling... what is Bono saying/meaning?

[theu2fly]

Vertigo:
'Your love is teaching me how to kneel'

City Of Blinding Lights:
'Blessing's not just for the ones who kneel, luckily'

Original Of The Species:
'I kneel, because I want you some more'

Are these about prayer, or beginning?

 

[uwwedoogie]

he's on about praying

His father was Catholic. Catholics are bent on kneeling.

and don't forget
"If you wanna kiss the sky better learn how to kneel"

I think the verses you wrote are about the need and the desire to pray, to get in contact with something far and deeper

oh, and also: "People find all kind of things/that bring them to their knees"

People tend to stay on their kneels for things that could be both important and meaniingless

Maybe being able to pray could help to stand

Theres also that *cough* other reference he could possibly be making. Probably not making, but there's a chance!

He's getting old but he doesn't want the wheelchair just yet.
