Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
For to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come

Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away

Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go of my love
The storms will pass, it won't be long now
This love will last, this love will last forever

And take my hand, you know I'll be there
If you can I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear

Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up with wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary

Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
This love, lasts forever
Now this love lasts forever

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.
