U2 - Magnificent (Alternative Version) Lyrics

Songwriter: Adam Clayton Larry Mullen Jr Daniel Roland Lanois Bono The Edge (Guitarist) Brian Eno

[Intro]
Magnificent
Oh, oh, magnificent

[Chorus 1]
I was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that and ever after I haven't had a clue
Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue

[Chorus 2]
Oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

[Chorus 1]
I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise

[Chorus 2]
Oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

[Chorus 3]
Justified till we die, you and I will magnify, oh-oh
The Magnificent
Magnificent, oh, oh

[Chorus 2]
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts

[Chorus 3]
Justified till we die, you and I will magnify, oh-oh
The Magnificent
Magnificent, oh, oh

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.
