Love Is All We Have Left Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nothing to stop this being the best day ever
Nothing to keep us from where we should be
I wanted the world but you knew better
And that all we have is immortality (There is a light)
[Chorus]
Love and love is all we have left
A baby cries on a doorstep
Love is all we have left (There is a light)
Love and love is all we have left
You argue 'cause you can’t accept
Love is all we have left
[Verse 2]
Now you’re at the other end of a telescope
Seven billion stars in her eyes
So many stars, so many ways of seeing
Hey, this is no time not to be alive (There is a light)
[Chorus]
Love and love is all we have left
A baby cries on a doorstep
Love is all we have left (There is a light)
Love and love is all we have left
The only thing that can be kept
Love is all we have left
American Soul Lyrics
[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves
Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward
[Verse 1: Bono]
It's not a place
This country is to me a sound
Of drum and bass
You close your eyes to look around
Look around, look around
Look around, it's a sound
Look around, look around
It's a sound
[Verse 2: Bono]
It's not a place
This country is to me a thought
That offers grace
For every welcome that is sought
[Chorus: Bono]
You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul
[Verse 3: Bono]
It's not a place
This is a dream the whole world owns
The pilgrim's face
It had your heart to call her home
Hold on Brother John
Too many mothers weepin'
Dream on Brother John
But in your dreams you can't be sleepin'
[Chorus: Bono]
You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul
American
American
[Bridge: Bono]
Put your hands in the air
Hold up the sky
Could be too late but we still gotta try
There's a moment in our life where a soul can die
In a person, in a country, when you believe the lie
The lie (The lie, the lie)
There's a promise in the heart of every good dream
It's a call to action not to fantasy
The end of the dream, the start of what's real
Let it be unity
Let it be community
For refugees like you and me
A country to receive us
Will you be my sanctuary?
Refu-Jesus
[Chorus: Bono]
You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Bono]
You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul
American soul
American soul
Summer of Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The winter doesn't want you, it haunts you
Summer serenading's a long way from this frozen place, your face
Our teacher, our preacher, it's nature
And like flowers growing in a bomb crater
From nothing, a rose, it grows
[Chorus]
I've been thinking about the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
We're sick of living in the shadows
We've one more chance before the light goes
For a summer of love (Summer of love)
Summer of love (Summer of love)
[Verse 2]
Freezing, we're leaving, believing
That all we need's ahead of us somewhere
In a summer to come
So we run
[Chorus]
I've been thinking about the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
We're sick of living in the shadows
We've one more chance before the light goes
For a summer of love (Summer of love)
A summer of love (Summer of love)
[Bridge]
Oh, and when all is lost
When all is lost we find out what remains
Oh, the same oceans crossed
For some it's pleasure, for some it's pain
[Chorus]
I've been thinking about the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
In the rubble of Aleppo
Flowers blooming in the shadows
For a summer of love
A summer of love
The Showman (Little More Better) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby's crying 'cause it's born to sing
Singers cry about everything
Still in the playground falling off a swing
But you know that I know
[Verse 2]
Walk through the room like a birthday cake
When I am all lit up, I can't make a mistake
And there's a level of shallow that you just can't fake
But you know that I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you don't care
But you know I'm there
[Chorus]
You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
Look so good
That's what's gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
[Post-Chorus]
You know you're chasing the sunlight
That's why I'm stayin' up all night
[Chorus]
You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
A little more
[Verse 3]
It is what it is but it's not what it seems
This screwed up stuff is the stuff of dreams
I got just enough low self-esteem
To get me where I wanna go, oh
[Verse 4]
The showman gives you front row to his heart
The showman prays his heartache will chart
Making a spectacle of falling apart
Is just the start of the show, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you don't care
But you know I'm there
[Chorus]
You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
Look so good
That's what's gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
[Post-Chorus]
I'll be chasing the sunlight
That's why I'm staying up all night
I lie for a living, I love to let on
But you make it true when you sing along
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
Look so good
That's what's gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
Look so good
That's what's gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more, little more
13 (There Is a Light) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
(Da da da da, ah da da da, da da)
[Chorus]
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 that we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light, don't let it go out
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause this is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me
[Verse 3]
I know the world is dumb
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 light
Hold on, hold on
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
