(originally by U2)




The heart is a bloom 

Shoots up through the stony ground 

There is 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 movin' anywhere 



You thought you'd found a friend 

To take out of this place 

Someone you could lend a hand 

In return for grace 



It's a beautiful day 

Sky falls, you feel like 

A beautiful day 

Don't let it get away 



You're on the road 

But you 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 

Don't let it get away 

It's a beautiful day 



Touch me 

Take me to that other place 

Teach me 

I know I'm not a hopeless case 



See the world in green and blue 

See China right in front of you 

See the canyons broken by cloud 

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out 



See the Bedouin fires at night 

See the oil fields at first light 

See the bird with a leaf in her mouth 

After the flood all the colors came out 



It's a beautiful day 

Don't let it get away 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let it get away 



So touch me 

Take me to that other place 

Reach me 

I know I'm not a hopeless case 



What you don't have you don't need it now 

What you don't know you can feel somehow 

What you don't have you don't need it now 

Don't need it now 

Was a beautiful day 

Was a beautiful day
