Beautiful Day

by U2


Lyrics:

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
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, and you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day (day)
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day (day)
Don't let it get away

You're on the road, but you've 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

It's a beautiful day (day)
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day (day)

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, oh, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

Turn out the lights
It was a beautiful day (day)
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day (day)

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, 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 it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
