A Song of the Week...

[hachiemachie]

...to lift my spirits. And surprise of surprises, it's a U2 song. Who'd have thunk it! But I love them and they make me happy and this is my favorite song on the new CD (which is quite good...more on that in a future post, of course).

"Magnificent"
Magnificent
Oh, magnificent

I was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue

Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart
Black and blue

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark
But only love
Only love can heal such a scar

I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice
But to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry
It was a joyful noise
Oh, oh

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark
But only love
Only love can heal such a scar

Justified till we die
You and I will magnify
Oh, the magnificent
Magnificent

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark
But only love
Only love unites our hearts

Justified till we die
You and I will magnify
Oh, the magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent

Here's their performance of it from Letterman last week:
