Letra de Wave of Sorrow (Birdland) - U2

Heat haze rising on Hell's own hill

To wake up this morning is an act of will

You walked through the night to get here today

To bring your children, to give them a way

Oh, oh this cruel sun

Its daylight never done

Cruelty just begun

To make a shadow of everyone

And if the rain came

And if the rain came now

Souls bent over without a breeze

Blankets on burning trees

I'm sick without disease

Nobility on its knees

And if the rain came

And if the rain came now

Would it wash us all away

On a wave of sorrow?

Wave, wave of sorrow

Where now the holy cities?

Where all the ancient holy scrolls?

Where now the Emperor Menelik

And Queen of Sheba's gold?

You my bride wear her crown

On your finger, precious stone

Has every good thing now been sold?

Son of shepherd boy now king

What wisdom can you bring?

What lyric could you sing?

Where is the music of the seraphim?

And if the rain came

And if the rain came now

Would it wash us all away

On a wave of sorrow?

Wave, on a wave of sorrow

Wave

Blessed are the meek who scratch in the dirt

For they shall inherit what's left of the Earth

Blessed are the kings who have left their thrones

They are blessed in this valley of dry bones

Blessed are you with an empty heart

For you have nothing from which you cannot part

Blessed is the ego if it's all we've got this hour

Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power

Blessed is the sex worker's body sold tonight

She works with what she's got to save her children's life

Blessed are the deaf who cannot hear her scream

Blessed are the stupid who can't dream

Blessed are the tin can cardboard slums

And blessed is the spirit that overcomes
