U2 - Wave Of Sorrow lyrics
[U2 - Wave Of Sorrow lyrics]
Heat haze rising on hell's own hill
You wake up this morning
It took an act of will
You 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
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
On a wave of sorrow
Where now the holy cities?
Where the ancient holy scrolls?
Where now Emperor Menelek?
And the Queen of Sheba's gold
You're my bride, you wear her crown
And on your finger precious stones
As every good thing now been sold
Son, of shepherd boy, now king
What wisdom can you bring?
What lyric would 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
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've
Left their thrones
They are buried in this valley of dry bones
Blessed all of you with an empty heart
For you got nothing from
Which you cannot part blessed is the ego
It's all we got this hour
Blessed is the voice that
Speaks truth to power
Blessed is the sex worker who
Sold her body tonight she used what she got
To save her children's life
Blessed are you
The deaf cannot hear a scream
Blessed are the stupid who can dream
Blessed are the tin canned cardboard slums
Blessed is the spirit that overcomes
You wake up this morning
It took an act of will
You 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
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
On a wave of sorrow
Where now the holy cities?
Where the ancient holy scrolls?
Where now Emperor Menelek?
And the Queen of Sheba's gold
You're my bride, you wear her crown
And on your finger precious stones
As every good thing now been sold
Son, of shepherd boy, now king
What wisdom can you bring?
What lyric would 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
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've
Left their thrones
They are buried in this valley of dry bones
Blessed all of you with an empty heart
For you got nothing from
Which you cannot part blessed is the ego
It's all we got this hour
Blessed is the voice that
Speaks truth to power
Blessed is the sex worker who
Sold her body tonight she used what she got
To save her children's life
Blessed are you
The deaf cannot hear a scream
Blessed are the stupid who can dream
Blessed are the tin canned cardboard slums
Blessed is the spirit that overcomes
