  • I was chasing down the days of fear
    Chasing down a dream before it disappeared
    I was aching to be somewhere near
    Your voice was all I heard
    I was shaking from a storm in me
    Haunted by the specters that we had to see
    Yeah I wanted to be the melody
    Above the noise, above the hurt

    I was young
    Not dumb
    Just wishing to be blinded
    By you
    Brand new
    And we were pilgrims on our way

    I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
    Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
    Everything I ever lost, now has been returned
    In the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard

    We got language so we can't communicate
    Religion so I can love and hate
    Music so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name

    I was young
    Not dumb
    Just wishing to be blinded
    By you
    Brand new
    And we were pilgrims on our way

    I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
    Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
    Everything I ever lost, now has been returned
    In the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard

    We can hear you
    We can hear you
    We can hear you

    I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
    I get so many things I don't deserve
    All the stolen voices will someday be returned
    The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard

    Your voices will be heard
    Your voices will be heard Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
