Bono's lyrics remind us that we are in charge of our own attitudes and outlooks, that we CAN choose to remain positive and peaceful amidst the chaos and cruelty around us, and in doing so, there will be rewards if we "wait patiently for the Lord.

There was an error. Wow, how inspiring to learn this meaning, a favorite for so many years without ever knowing the meaning. Always humbling to witness the intense power, harmonic grace, and poetic beauty of the same divinity revealed through different forms. Very well said. General Comment The lyrics were written in about 10 minutes and the music about 10 minutes also I heard Bono say that on a TV special, I think. It comes from Psalm chapter It's starts like this: I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.

There are also live recordings that actually have Bono sing Psalm 40 word for word. I think this is a really great rendition and definitely a firm movement. Chyea on January 19, General Comment BrandtH, they didn't write the song. David wrote it about years ago. So I doubt it has much to do with Ireland AgentGabbit on April 08, Link. Agent, David probably didn't write the psalm either. This is a song written in the era of King David, in the school of thought and theology that was that time. I do think Brandth has a point, because U2 places this at the end of an anti-war album.

What is bono saying? I don't think he is pointing out inconsistencies in religion or spirituality, I think he is genuinely asking God how long must we sing until all those wars will stop. Ireland is definately in the context here for Bono. Basel, , CH St jakobs Stadion. Koln, , DE Mungerdorfer Stadion. London, , GB Wembley Stadium. Birmingham, Eng. London, , GB Wembley Arena.
