Always (Value Added Title)

2 Comments

This morning I was working on tying up some loose ends before the school year ends. Our students are taking exams today and tomorrow so I am confined to my closet trying to keep quiet. While I was working on turning in some recipts, I was listening to one of my auto playlist called “Never Played.” The list contains all the songs I haven’t listened to in my iTunes library. A U2 song came on that I had never heard before. The music caught my ear (It is the beta-“Beautiful Day”) so I checked out the lyrics. Great stuff! This b-side from the Beautiful Day single is a new favorite. Enjoy.

Always

Here today, gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be a bee and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour

What we have we’re gonna keep, always
What we’ve lost we don’t need, always
What is it that won’t let you sleep, always

Be the arrow and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool, yes be awkward
Don’t look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soulmate

Get down off your holy cloud, always
God will not deal with the proud, always
Well if you dream then dream out loud, always
Eternally yours, always

I want you
I want you
I want you
Touch me now inside
I wanted to be a man
I wanted to call

You say you come to know yourself, always
Don’t find yourself in someone else, always
And always wear a safety belt, always
Wait for me I’m running late, always
This is the moment that we share for always
Turn each song into a prayer, always
Now and forever
For always
