Words... I've Been "Thinking" On

Love-love-love-love-love
I got to stand up and take a step,
You and I have been asleep for hours
Stand up in this dizzy world
I’m gonna fall down if I can’t stand up,
I can stand up for faith, hope, and love
I gotta stand up to ego but my ego’s not really the enemy
Napolean is in high heels, be careful of small men with big ideas...

I’ve been in every black hole , At the altar of the dark star
My body’s now a begging bowl , That’s begging to get back
Begging to get back to my heart
To the rhythm of my soul, To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns, To be released from control
At the moment of surrender, Of vision over visibility...

I’ve found grace inside a sound, I found grace it’s all that I found
And I can breathe, Breathe now...

(Stand-Up-Comedy, I’ll Go Crazy, Breathe, Moment-Of-Surrender) by U2/ NLOTH
