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 you 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
