U2 countdown day 9: magnificent

this one is quite different from yesterday's poem.  this is a love song, and a beautiful one at that.  it's not your typical, "oh i can't live without you..." it's so much more than that.  it's much deeper.  and it's one of my favorite.  this is magnificent, from 2009's no line on the horizon.  enjoy!


i 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 blue



only love, only love can leave such a mark

but only love, only love can heal such a scar


i 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 scar


justified till we die, you and i will magnify

the magnificent

magnificent


only love, only love can leave such a mark

but only love, only love unites our hearts



justified till we die, you and i will magnify
the magnificent

magnificent

magnificent
