Another diamond from Bono’s new book SURRENDER: 40 Songs, 1 Story

The story under the story is one that deeply affects me. Bono is blowing me away with his empathy and his practical advice on how to GET THE F OFF ONES’ KNEES. We are not here to be toyed with and to have to cope with one trap and scam after another. If that’s what he means when he talks about Punk Ideals, then I’m all in.

Lyric of note:

I won't be me when you see me again

"Invisible" lyrics

It's like the room just cleared of smoke
I didn't even want the heart you broke
It's yours to keep
You just might need one

I finally found my real name
I won't be me when you see me again
No, I won't be my father's son

I'm more than you know
I'm more than you see here
More than you let me be
I'm more than you know
A body in a soul
You don't see me but you will
I am not invisible

That's right
I'll be in the invisible world

I don't dream, not as such
I don't even think about you that much
Unless I start to think at all

All those frozen days
And your frozen ways
They melt away your face like snow

I'm more than you know
I'm more than you see here
I'm more than you let me be
I'm more than you know
A body in a soul
You don't see me but you will
I am not invisible
I am here

I am here

There is no them
There is no them
There's only us
There's only us
There is no them
There is no them
There's only us
There's only us
There is no them
There is no them
There's only you
And there's only me
There is no them
