I'm alive. . .I'm being born . . .
Beware of a HUGE Bono picspam in honor of our wonderful birthday boy!
I started out chronologically, but . . .I have a day job! LOL
Sorry, but this is NOT dial-up friendly. . .
I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion
When I was three
I thought the world revolved around me
With a shout, shout it out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
Into the heart...of a child
I can smile
I can go there
Innocent, and in a sense I am
We run and don't look back
Singing song that makes me happy
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
You were blown by the wind
You were blown by the wind
In the shadow boy meets man
I'll shine my spirit aloud.
Try to explain.
What I feel.
. . . like a sore head
I heard your voice a-whispering
Come away child
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
it can't be bought
your mind can wander
Of course you're not shy
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
I’ve come crawling, falling at your feet.
You're everywhere child
You're all over the place
It's just you and me and the rain
Some high ground is not worth taking
Take my shirt, go on take it off me
You can tear it up
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Many will see,
Many will see and fear.
I will sing, sing a new song.
A man dreams one day to fly
You know these boots don't want to stray
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
To see myself
And my reflection
When I thought about it
I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice
You're looking for explanations
I don't even understand
You don't smoke, don't even want to
I can´t lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
And we love to fly a flag
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
Get to smoke some cigarettes
You know I miss mine sometimes
Time... time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Gonna walk in the sun
How could beauty be so kind
To an ordinary guy
Jesus, I'm waiting here boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free
. . .A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell
She sees the man inside the child
I want to see
I want to hear
To understand your fears
The last of the rocks stars
I'm a man, I'm not a child
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him
I'm round the corner from anything that's real
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
Grace finds beauty in everything
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
We're the same soul
I don't need... I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Don't leave me here alone
I see you're dressed to kill
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
You can keep this suit of lights
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Happy Birthday Bono!!
