Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day. . . . .

Beautiful Day - U2

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground

But there's no room, no space to rent in this town

You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,

The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.

You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls

And you feel like it's a beautiful day

It’s a beautiful day

Don’t let it get away

You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination

You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination

You love this town even if it doesn’t ring true

You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place

Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue

See China right in front of you

See the canyons broken by cloud

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the bedouin fires at night

See the oil fields at first light

See the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colours came out

It was a beautiful day

A beautiful day

Don’t let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place

Reach me, I know Iím not a hopeless case

What you don’t have you don’t need it now

What you don’t know you can feel it somehow

What you don’t have you don’t need it now

You don’t need it now, you don’t need it now

Beautiful day

Beautiful Day is ethereal. Its viewpoint is presented in its instrumentation even more so than the lyrics. The song opens as though it was morning and people were waking up. It takes on a metaphorical meaning - awakening to a new philosophy and wishing to change a pessimistic attitude, blessed with what has been given.

A beautiful song to start the new year to. ~ Inspira

Ps. Charles de Gaulle Airport never looked this good!
