U2, “New Year’s Day”

Readings on Star Politics,

All is quiet on New Year’s Day / A world in white gets underway / I want to be with you, be with you night and day / Nothing changes on New Year’s Day / On New Year’s Day

I will be with you again / I will be with you again

Under a blood-red sky / A crowd has gathered in black and white / Arms entwined, the chosen few / The newspaper says, says / Say it’s true, it’s true / And we can break through / Though torn in two / We can be one

I, I will begin again / I, I will begin again

Oh, oh… / I will be with you again…
