My PLEBA Friends,

After some of the posts which have appeared here in the last few days, I REALLY felt I wanted to offer this post as a symbol of ONENESS for all of us :heart:

Bono has given us SO MANY beautiful lyrics which have continued to elevate and inspire us through the years. But there is ONE song for me that I truly encapsulates the essence of Bono's hopes and wishes for the world. That song is "BAD". :bono:

Bono wrote that song about a time when all around him was a sense of confusion, separation, isolation and condemnation. The writing of "BAD" would be a release of these feelings for him. It stands as one of the most moving and soul-stirring songs he has ever written.:yes:

So, I will offer these words to all of us to hopefully begin a Healing process in all of us so that we can RECONCILE any differences between us and go forward POSITIVELY with each other as Brothers and Sisters - WHICH IS WHAT BONO WOULD WANT FROM US!:hug:

I pray that these words bring us closer together.

If you twist and turn away If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would let it go
Surrender Dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk away into the night, through the rain
If I could through myself set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away See you break away
into the night to the day
into the half-light through the flame
Let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so to fade away....

If I could, you know I would
If I could I would Let it go
This desparation, separation, condemnation, in temptation, revelation, isolation, desolation, isolation - Let it go

Thank you, Bono, for these words of Healing and Reconciliation.:heart:

May we have the wisdom to follow them. Peace and Love.:yes: :up: :bono: :hug:
