Chance is a kind of religion

Where you're damned for plain hard luck.

Only true love can keep beauty innocent.

Home, hard to know what it is if you've never had one

Home, I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home

That's where the hurt is

Free at last, they took your life -- they could not take your pride.

U2, "Pride (In the Name of Love)", The Unforgettable Fire

In New York freedom looks like too many choices.

What once was hurt

What once was friction

What left a mark

No longer stings

Because Grace makes beauty

Out of ugly things

Choose your enemies carefully 'cause they will define you

Make them interesting 'cause in some ways they will mind you

They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends

Gonna last with you longer than your friend

Every generation gets a chance to change the world

Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls

Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard

You can run from love

And if it's really love it will find you

Catch you by the heel

Freedom has a scent

Like the top of a new born baby's head

Jesus this song you wrote

The words are sticking in my throat

Peace on Earth

Hear it every Christmas time

But hope and history won't rhyme

So what's it worth?

This peace on Earth

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you take a look inside.
Not just deaf and dumb
I am staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind.

U2, "Staring at the Sun"

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

U2, "All I Want Is You"
