Beautiful Day

U2

The heart is a bloom,
shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room,
no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck
and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend
to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend
a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
but you've got no destination
You're in the mud,
in the maze of her imagination
You love this town
even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
​and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
A beautiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day
