歌曲:Wave Of Sorrow (Birdland)
作曲:U2、Bono
Heat haze rising
on ****'s own hill
To wake up this morning
is an act of will
Walk through the night
to get here today
To bring your children
to give them away
Oh oh this cruel sun
is daylight never done
Cruelty just begun to make
a shadow of everyone
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now
Souls bent over
without a breeze
Blankets on burning trees
I am sick without disease
Nobility on it's knees
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now
Would it wash us all away
on a wave of sorrow
Wave wave of sorrow
Where now the holy cities
where are the ancient
holy scrolls
Where now emperor menelek
and queen of sheba's gold
You my bride wear a crown
on your finger precious stone
As every good thing
now been sold
Son of shepherd boy now king
What wisdom can you bring
What lyric could you sing
Where is the music
of the seraphim
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now
Would it wash us all away
on a wave of sorrow
Wave on a wave of sorrow wave
Blessed are the meek
who scratch in the dirt
For they shall inherit
what's left of the earth
Blessed are the kings
who have left their thrones
They are blessed in
this valley of dry bones
Blessed all of you
with an empty heart
For you have nothing
from which you cannot part
Blessed is the ego
if it's all we got this hour
Blessed is the voice
that speaks truth to power
Blessed is the sex worker's
body sold tonight
She works for what
she's got to save
her children's life
Blessed are the deaf
who cannot hear a scream
Blessed are the stupid
who can dream
Blessed are the tin can
cardboard slums
And blessed is the spirit
that overcomes
