Beautiful Day

Lyrics

(by U2)  
  
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  
Sky falls, you feel like  
It's a beautiful 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  
Don't let it get away  
It's a beautiful day  
Touch me  
Take me to that other place  
Teach me  
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 colours came out  
It was a beautiful day  
Don't let it get away  
Beautiful 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  
Was a beautiful day
