love is not the easy thing
the only baggage you can bring is
all that you can't leave behind

and if the darkness is to keep us apart
and if the daylight feels like it's a long way off

and if your glass heart should crack
for a second you turn back

be strong.
walk on.

what you've got, they can't steal it
no they can't even feel it

walk on
stay safe tonight

you're packing a suitcase for a place none of us been
a place that has to be believed to be seen

you could have flown away
a singing bird in an open cage
who will only fly
only fly for freedom

walk on

what you've got, they can't deny it
can't sell it or buy it

walk on
stay safe tonight

and i know it aches
and your heart it breaks
you can only take so much.

walk on

home.
hard to know what it is if you've never had one
home.
i can't say where it is but i know i'm going
home.
that's where the heart is

and i know it aches
and your heart it breaks
you can only take so much.

walk on

you've got to leave it behind

all that you fashion
all that you make
all that you build
all that you break
all that you measure
all that you steal
all this you can leave behind

all that you reason
needs only time
and all that i'm feeling in my mind
all that you sense
all that you speak
all you dress up
all that you scheme

all that you can't leave behind.

- u2 [walk on]

saw the video for this on mtv just now.

love this song.
kept me going for a while last time.
when nothing was going my way..
and i felt like giving up.

simple motto: walk on.
