U2

I love Bono and U2. They are coming to Houston in October(the 14th, Randy's birthday) and Sarah got our tickets today. We saw them in 05 as well. This time Randy and I will be on the floor with Greg and Sarah. It should be great!

I became a U2 fan after we saw them in 05. Until then, I knew who they were, but did not know a lot about them and their music. I researched the band and Bono, and discovered that Bono is quite the man. I am a huge fan.

I have their most recent CD. Below is the lyrics to my favorite song on the CD.

Magnificent
Oh, magnificent



I was born
I was born to be with you 

In this space and time

After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue


Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart
Black and blue



Only love
Only love can leave such a mark

But only love
Only love can heal such a scar


I was born
I was born to sing for you 

I didn’t have a choice
But to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry
It was a joyful noise
Oh, oh

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark

But only love
Only love can heal such a scar


Justified till we die
You and I will magnify

Oh, the magnificent

Magnificent

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark

But only love
Only love unites our hearts



Justified till we die
You and I will magnify
Oh, the magnificent

Magnificent

Magnificent
