U2 (The Joshua Tree,1987)
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy
Your sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
You run like a river to the sea
Like a river to the sea
And in the world a heart of darkness, a fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
It runs like a river runs to the sea
Like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill
...
Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the oceans
Run to the sea
