I just read the lyrics thread started by spanisheyes and thought it might help us heal if we all posted some of the specific U2 lyrics that are getting us through this tough time. I agree with spanisheyes that some of their songs have suddenly taken on new significance. Maybe the lyrics are comforting or maybe they help you express your anger or your fears and frustrations...

I'll start...

And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong.
Walk On
 
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
 
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to


The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without
 
Well, this isn't a U2 song, but I find it fitting.

"Run To The Water"
Live

Oh desert speak to my heart
Oh woman of the earth
Maker of children who weep for love
Maker of this birth
'Til your deepest secrets are known to me
I will not be moved
I will not be moved

"Don't try to find the answer
When there ain't no question here
Brother let your heart be wounded
And give no mercy to your fear"

Adam and Eve live down the street from me
Babylon is every town
It's as crazy as it's ever been
Love's a stranger all around

In a moment we lost our minds here
And lay our spirit down
Today we lived a thousand years
All we have is now

Run to the water
And find me there
Burnt to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
These streets below the moon

And I will never leave you

'Til we can say,
"This world was just a dream
We were sleepin' now we are awake"
'Til we can say

In a moment we lost our minds here
And dreamt the world was round
A million mile fall from grace
Thank God we missed the ground

Run to the water
And find me there
Burnt to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Yeah, I can see it now lord
Out beyond all the breakin' of waves
And the tribulation
It's a place and the home of ascended souls
Who swam out there in love!

Run to the water
And find me there
Burnt to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Rest easy baby, rest easy
And recognize it all as light and rainbows
Smashed to smithereens and be happy
Run to the water (and find me there)
Run to the water
 
QUEEN " My Bijou "

You..And me we are destined ..you'll agree
To spend the rest of our lives with each other......
The rest of our days like two lovers ....
'
Forever ..
Yeah
For ever

My Bijou .
 
I wanna run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out, and touch the Flame
Where The Streets Have No Name....
and when I go there, I go there with you
it's all I can do..
 
Put on the dress in which you were married
Pull down the veil til your eyes are hid
Can you remember where we both came from
Let us do as we did

Look at tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today

Put back the photo under your window
Put down the phone that you hold in your hand
Put away these things that stand in between us
Let us be what we can

When it seems
Hopeless
When it seems
Hopeless

Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today

What better measure of what you were doing here
Then what you can leave behind
All the children of your children's children
Do you ever think what they're going to find

Make tomorrow
Where the sacred meet the scared
Make tomorrow
Where the dreamer's dream is dared

In each of us
A dream can burn like the sun
Let's try it all one more time
To get this lesson learned

Sitting up in a spaceship
Looking down at the earth
You wonder what they all stuggling for
What's it all really worth
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow

Peter Gabriel "Make Tommorow", 2000
