U2 – Magnificent
Bono and the boys just killed it, again, on Letterman. Bono got his preach on doing ‘Magnificent’ off their brand new album, No Line On The Horizon.
Read the lyrics – tell me this is not a modern psalm:
Magnificent
MagnificentI 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 blueOnly love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scarI 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…Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scarJustified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
MagnificentOnly love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our heartsJustified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent
Thanks for stopping by the blog. I'm currently on sabbatical this summer - you can read more about my sabbatical here: Personal Update - What's Next
Since I'm away from the blog I've decided to close comments. I love the interaction and discussion that happens with readers and since I'm not able to do that this summer, I'll be very much looking forward to that when I return in August.
