Arms crossed tight not daring to breathe will it ever feel right holding the tongue in case vocal tones call out a fake walking by too fast just to get past what others see until it no longer matters I can only be me

Lyrics by Paul David Hewson, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, and Dave Evans
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 Leaves you baby if you don’t care for it
Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without
Well it’s 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? To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much? More than a lot You gave me nothin’ now it’s all I got We’re one but we’re not the same Well 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 but then you make me crawl And I can’t be holdin’ on to what you got When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood One life, you got to do what you should One life, with each other Sisters, brothers
One life but we’re not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One One
Here the loveliest of young women fight for the honour of marrying the hangmen; here the righteous are tortured at night and the resolute worn down by hunger
