Bono – When I Look At The World lyrics

When you look at the world
What is it that you see?
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees
I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere when you walk into the room
So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it´s no use
I can´t see what you see
When I look at the world

When the nite is someone elses
And you´re trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep
When there´s all kinds of chaos
And everyone is talkin´lame
You don´t even blink, do u
Or even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it´s no use
I can´t see what you see
When I look at the world

I can´t wait any longer
I can´t wait ´till I´m stronger
Can´t wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I´m in the waiting room
Can´t see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke

Tell me, tell me, what do you see?
Tell me, tell me, what´s wrong with me
