U2 - Boy Falls From The Sky lyrics

rate me

You can change your mind

But you cannot change your heart

It's a compass and a map

The key to the chart

I'd be myself

If I knew who I'd become

You fly too high

And get too close to the sun

See how the boy falls from the sky

Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh Oh

Not every wanderer

Is lost or far from home

I didn't have to move so far

To find myself alone

Save, you save yourself

Can't even get that right

I used to use a single thread to cross the sky

And now the eye of the needle is a heart denied

See how the boy falls from the sky

The city conducts a symphony

The search through shit for melody

A single scrap of dignity

In the junkyard of humanity

On the burning rubble and the sulphur sky

We look for clues yeah, you and I

Although the screams and the sirens wail

Is up for sale

The subway screech soars down the drain

The thunder when there is no rain

So listen hard, listen again

To your own voice and the rain comes back

You know exactly what to do

The you and me, the we and you

Together you start the self esteem

And when you do

And when you do

And you believe
