(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
