The boldness of Bono
Everywhere U2 have gone to promote their latest album “No Line On The Horizon”, Bono has sung “Magnificent”, which is one of the highlight songs on the album.
Check out the BBC rooftop gig version here.
Here are the lyrics:
Magnificent
MagnificentI was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that and ever after I haven’t had a clue
Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blueOnly love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scarI was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise…Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scarJustified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
MagnificentOnly love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our heartsJustified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent
If that is not bold, from the rooftops worship and proclamation, by a man who walks with Jesus, then I do not know what is.
I hope we can all be so bold.
that is the epic song of the album – along with boots and cedars of lebanon – but Magnificent is just mindblowingly beautiful…
