Down (Day), Down (Day)
Down (Day), Down (Day)
Down (Day), Down (Day)
Down (Day), Down (Day)

Was a beautiful day, down (Day)
Don’t let it get away, down (Day)
Beautiful day, down (Day)

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 can lend a hand in return for grace (Always)

It’s a beautiful day, down (Day)
Sky falls, you feel like it’s a beautiful day, down (Day)
Woo hoo hoo, down (Day)

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless case

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 that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you

It’s a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like it’s a beautiful day
Woo hoo hoo

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless case

See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And, see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
(Day) Down
(Day) Day

It was a beautiful day, down (Day)
Don’t let it get away, day (Day)
Beautiful day, down (Day)

It’s a beautiful day, down
Sky falls, you feel like it’s a beautiful day
Woo hoo hoo, down

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
Don’t need it now
Was a Beautiful Day
Oh oh oh ooh

Warm in the sun
While I ease you, my summer

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
