Song For Someone (Live)

(Bono's speech:

So here I am in the box room of Cedarwood Road, age 18,

try to write a perfect song for a perfect girl called Allison Stewart,

who keeps telling me she's not interested in perfect.

So I guess which means I'm in for a chance.)

You got a face not spoiled by beauty

I have some scars from where I've been

You've got eyes that can see right through me

You're not afraid of anything they've seen

I was told that I would feel

Nothing the first time

I don't know how these cuts heal

But in you I found a rhyme

If there is a light you can't always see

And there is a world we can't always be

If there is a dark that we shouldn't doubt

And there is a light, don't let it go out

And this is a song, song for someone

This is a song, song for someone

You let me into a conversation

A conversation only we could make

You break into my imagination

Whatever's in there it's yours to take

I was told I would feel

Nothing the first time

You were slow to heal

But this could be the night

If there is a light you can't always see

And there is a world we can't always be

If there is a dark within and without

And there is a light, don't let it go out

And this is a song, song for someone

This is a song, a song for someone

And I'm a long long way from your hill of Calvary

And I'm a long way from where I was

Where I need to be

If there is a light you can't always see

And there is a world we can't always be

I know there are plenty reasons to doubt

And there is a light, don't let it go out
