Beautiful Day
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
The heart is a bloom
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up…through stony ground
The heart is a bloom
Ahh...heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there’s no room, no space to rent in this town
You’re out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck, you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend, to take you out of this place / Always
Someone that you could lend a hand, in return for grace / Always
It’s a beautiful day
The sky falls you feel like
It’s a beautiful day
You’re on the road, but you got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town, even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over, and it’s been all over you / Always
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day
You can touch me now
Take me to that other place
You can teach me, love
I know I’m not a hopeless case, oh
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyon broken by cloud
See the tuna fleet clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
And see the oilfields at first light and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
A beautiful day
You can touch me
Won’t you take me to that other place
Will you teach me, love
Yeah I know I’m not a hopeless case
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now
Beautiful day, ah-ah-ah
(So intense, oh, so fierce)
(All my lies, all my sins)
Yea, ye-day, the day, day, no
Beautiful
(Beautiful)
(Beautiful)

Until The End Of The World
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10
Jesus, this is Judas
?...shoot me…? …save my
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold just killing time
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and a groom
We broke the bread, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you, you’re still talking
About the end of the world
I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You led me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips, broke your heart
You, you were acting
Like it was the end of the world
Love, love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love
Ah...
In my dreams I was drowning my sorrows
My sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out to the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait
'Til the end of the world
(I want you inside)
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
(Sugar soul)
(Stay right)
Two tribes go to war
A point is all that you-you score

New Year’s Day

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year’s Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined like the chosen few
The newspaper said it’s true
They say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two, we can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Yeah-yeah oh, oh-oh-oh
La-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Hey
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Again

Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10
Yea-yeah, yeah now
All night, you can do it
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company, yeah
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You can stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I’m still enchanted by a light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
You are such a fool
Why you worry like you do
I know it's tough and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment now you can't get out of it
Oh Lord, look at you now
Stuck in a moment and you can't get out
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all, oh
Yeah-yeah hey
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
And if the night runs over / And if the night runs over
And if the days won't last / And if the days won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
It's just a moment, this time will pass
Wow

What’s Going On

2001-10-10
Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
And brothers
There’s too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today
Father, father
It’s no time to escalate
War is not the answer
For only love could conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today
Barricades won’t block our way
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me and we can see
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
Ooo...
Ooo...
(Some things went down)
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we’re wrong
But who are they to tell us
Together we can be strong
You know we’ve got to find a way
To get some loving here today
Barricades won’t block our way
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me and we can see
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
What’s going on / What’s going on
Ah…oh
Father, father
There’s too many of us crying
Father…father…

New York
It’s some song, a lot of choices
In New York I found some friends
To drown out the other voices
Voices on a cell phone, voices from home
Are you all right, baby?
I’m staying alone
New York… I got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot
Well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
Without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in the space
You turn it up and you stake around the place
New York, just got a place… in New York
New York
New York
New York
New York
In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still
And in New York you can’t forget
Just how strong the city’s will
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York….ah-ooo
New York…ah
The Irish been coming here for years
Acting like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt
They even got the police
Irish, Italians, Jews, Blacks, Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics
Don’t belong, that’s not a New York kinda song
What’s goin’ on
New York, New York, New York
New York, ah-ooo
New York, ah-ooo
In New York…lost some solace
Midlife crisis
It’s not a problem
Just… too many choices
Hit an iceberg in my life
Yeah, I'm still afloat
I lost my balance, you lost your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
Ya got to put the women, children first
I just got an unquenchable thirst for New York
New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard a voice whisper
Come away, child
New York
Ba-da-da-ba-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-da-da
New York…

Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10
One man comes in the name of love
One man he come and go
One man comes he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
Love, love, love, love, love
Mmm…
Early morning, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
In the name of love
(And soul….my soul and love)

Sunday Bloody Sunday

2001-10-10
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I can’t believe the news today
I can’t close my eyes, make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
Puts my back up, my back up against a wall
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
Alright, let’s go
?
Come on, Scotty
This battle’s yet begun
There’s many lost, but tell me, who has won?
Trenches dug within our hearts
Brothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your bloodshot eyes / Sunday bloody Sunday
Wipe your tears away / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
We're so sick of it
And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction, TV a reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
And the battle’s yet begun / Sunday bloody Sunday
To claim the victory Jesus won / Sunday bloody Sunday
On
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
(There’s some more song)
A state of heart
A state of mind
A state of heart
A state of mind
A state of spirit…for peace
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

Kite
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10
The last time that we were in the area here, um, in um, in Chicago…
I know, I know
But it was close, and, and ah we went, I went home because um
I was, there was a baby due any minute and ah, anyway
The, the, the, the baby’s name is John, if you’re interested
This is a song that was written about ah, having, ah, children, and ah
And all that kind of thing
I thought it was written about my children, em
Anyway, sometimes you don’t know
Ah…this is called Kite
Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
Think I know what it is
I'm not afraid to die
Not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
Hope to feel like I did
And hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
Thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone or anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know, which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has gone awry
Don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt of the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I’m wondering what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
Edge
I'm a man…
And I'm not a child (somehow though)
I’m a man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
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 if the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement
The last of the rock stars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
It was the big idea
Even at Notre Dame
Even at Notre Dame
In summer I can taste the salt of the sea
There’s a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I’m wondering what’s gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened…to me

Angel Of Harlem
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame

2001-10-10
It was a cold and wet December day
We touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an Angel
Edge
New York like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
Soul love
This love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
Lawrence
Birdland on 53
The street sounds like a symphony
John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
Miles and she’s got to be an angel
Lady Day got bloodshot eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel
Soul love
This love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, she’s heart and soul
Hey-yeah, yeah-yeah
Hey-yeah
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded, you lost your way
On the side streets and the ally way
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
So long
Angel of Harlem
Angel, Angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem

Staring At The Sun
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, USA
2001-10-10
Ah, Edge spends a lot of time on the internet
And uh
And uh this…he organized for tonight is a webcast that goes out
I just asked him how many people are gonna be listening in
And he said it was the whole universe
What we discovered this afternoon is there’s a whole universe
Here in Notre Dame, anyway
Some planets way on the edge there
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps are crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's gonna get stickier too
Been a long, hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try to think it out
Don't think at all
You’re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Whose happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
No those that can't do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Whose happy to go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great but something missing
I left it in the... duty free air
But you never really belonged to me
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Whose ready to go blind

Bad

2001-10-10
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could I would, let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
Through the day
Into the half light
Through the flame
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
To let it go
And so not fade away
To let it go, uh-huh
So not fade away
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no
I’m not sleeping
If they should ask
Well maybe they’d tell me
What I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and like a burning flag
Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could I would
Let it go
Separation
Separation, separation
Isolation, isolation
Now revelation, isolation
Now revelation, isolation
Let it go, uh-huh
So not fade away
To let it go
So not fade, fade
Fade away, fade away
Not fade away, no
Not fade away
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
In Dublin’s fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
First lit my eyes on me Molly Malone
She wheeled a wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Singing cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Singing cockles and mussels
Alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Alive, alive-o
Singing cockles and mussels
Alive, alive-o

Where The Streets Have No Name

2001-10-10
What can I give back to God
For the blessings he poured out on me?
What can I give back to God
For the blessings he poured out on me?
For the blessings
For the blessings
Oh…
I want to run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
Wanna take shelter…like in vain
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind and trampled in dust
Show you a place, no sorrow or pain
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Love, love, love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
We’re burning down love
And when I go there
So go there with you
It's all we can do
Thank you

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Joyce Center
University of Notre Dame

2001-10-10
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
(But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for)
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like a fire
I was burning inside her
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
Take it to church
I try
We’re in a church
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed…but yes I’m still running
You broke the bonds, ya loosed the chains
You carried the cross, you took the shame
Took the blame
Ya know I believe it
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found…

If you were born…ten months after this came out, this is for you
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I’ll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I’m waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
Yeah you
Yeah you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, ya give
You give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, you got me with
Nothing to win
And nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, you give
You give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh–oh-oh-oh -oh
Oh-oh–oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

(I should call you)
(Contra dame…?...hall of fame besides)
Amen…amen…amen
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
From the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips eclipse
You elevate my soul
Got no self-control
Digging like a mole now
Going down excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation
A star, you look like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can’t sing but I’ve got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation
Love, lift me up out of these blues
Won’t you tell me something true
I believe in you
But I’m a creep
Save it
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Elevation
Soul nation
Elevation
Jubilation
Elevation

Oooo-ooo
(Shoot me now)
Alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Oh
John take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You’ve been living underground eating from a can
You’ve been running away from what you don’t understand, love
She’s slippy, you’re sliding down
Is she gonna be there when you hit the ground
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright. it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Ah-ha
Oh child
John take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can’t explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She’s the wave that turned the tide
She sees the man inside the child
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Oh, love, alright / It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s all right
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Jump up
Jump up and down
Jump around
One day you’ll look back
And you’ll see where you were held
How by this love you could stand there
Move on this moment, follow this feeling
Follow this feeling
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright. it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Oh love, oh-oh
Lift my days light up my nights
Love...
When I get that feeling I want sexual healing
When I get that feeling
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ah hmm, oh-oh
She move with it
We move with it
The spirit move with it
Mysterious ways
She moves with it
Jehovah move with it
Can I move with it
Mysterious ways
Oh…

Alright, alright, alright
Hey

Kinda pretty
So thank you all for coming out and ah
Spending your hard earned on a rock show and all that
And
Whose bicycle did I get on today? I found somebody’s bike and drove around the campus. Whoever’s it was…was that you? It was an Echo bike.
Also want to thank, ah, those of you that supported us on the Drop The Debt Campaign. I noticed that…president of The World Bank…Jim Wilkinson…came out on September the twelfth…maybe September the thirteenth, I can’t remember, and he said you know the roots of this problem are in abject poverty. Fanatics live off their fuel; fuel for their fanaticism…is the abject poverty that they live in. So I put a challenge to us…that perhaps the only way to really win this war, really win it, is to try and take away that poverty, that’s my prayer.
There’s a program here, at Notre Dame, about, I think it’s called the Ace program…Father Sculley’s program, where people give up 2 years of their life, and they go into an area, where people don’t, where they can’t get to, this kind of teaching. I would call that changing the world… And I would call getting the pharmaceutical companies to drop their intellectual copy write on aids vaccines and drugs--I would call that changing the world. And I would call letting the poorest of the poorest countries at least trade with Europe and The United States--I would call that changing the world.
Tonight with us we have people who turn the whole concept of celebrity on its head. Celebrities are supposed to be somebody special and…film stars, rock stars, we’re celebrities, we’re supposed to be heroes but we’re not heroes, we’re very selfish people who enjoy what we do, thank you very much. But here tonight we have from the fire department in New York City, from the Police Department in New York City, men and women that came down to catch the U2 show tonight. Theirs is the kind of bravery that can truly change the world. So if it’s possible to glue these two subjects together…the poverty of these far off places and the bravery of some of the places closer to home. If we could join those two together we might have something. This is for you.
(I go on, on a dime)

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
It leaves you darling if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
You want me to go without
Is it too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light?
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
Cos I did
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot
You gave me nothing now it's all I’ve got
We're one, but we're not the same
Yeah, we hurt each other, then we do it again
You say love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
Then you make me crawl
But I can't be holding on to what you’ve got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood, one life
You get to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, my brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One…one
Do you hear us coming, Lord?
Do you hear us call?
Do you hear ‘em knocking?
We’re knocking at your door
Do you hear ‘em coming, Lord?
Do you hear ‘em crawl?
See ‘em scratching
Then you make ‘em crawl
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Joe)
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Joe not your play)
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Oh…walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away, a singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Oh…walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
But I know it aches
Your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Home
Hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home
I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That’s where the hurt is
And I know it aches and your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
You got to leave it behind
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All you count on two fingers
And all that you steal
Leave it behind / Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
New York Police Department
Fire Department
Hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Thank you

Everybody thinks we’re wrong
But who are they to tell us
Together we can be strong
You know we’ve got to find a way
To get some loving here today
Barricades won’t block our way
https://arynews.tv/en/sarahah-know-sender-name-trick-mobile-app/
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me and we can see
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed…but yes I’m still running
You broke the bonds, ya loosed the chains
You carried the cross, you took the shame
Took the blame
Ya know I believe it
If they should ask
Well maybe they’d tell me
What I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and like a burning flag
Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
