  • And if the terrors of the night
    Come creeping into your days
    And the world comes stealing children from your room
    Guard your innocence
    From hallucination
    And know that darkness always gathers around the light

    If there is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    Now we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out

    Hmm

    When the wind screams and shouts
    And the sea is a dragon's tail
    And the ship that stole your heart away
    Sets sail

    When all you've left is leaving
    And all you got is grieving
    And all you know is needing

    If there is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    Now we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out

    'Cause this is a song
    A song for someone
    Someone like me

    I know the world is done
    But you don't have to be
    I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves
    Are you tough enough to be kind?
    Do you know your heart has its own mind?
    Darkness gathers around the lights
    Hold on
    Hold on

    There is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    That we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out

    And this is a song
    A song for someone
    This is a song
    A song for someone
    Someone like me
    Someone like me
    Someone like me Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
