Cause a new day’s gonna come
(every country gotta get her come on)
And look towards the sun
Sun got the darkness on the run

Everybody sing this part right here
Momma, momma
You know you raised me with no father figure
I want to take this time to thank you for giving me life,
alright
Momma, momma
You know you raised me with no father figure
Him taken by machine gun trigger after giving me life

People getting fired some getting wired (hey)
Looting on the street cause the dog’s gotta eat (hey)

By any means necessary

Gotta get it straight before it’s too late (hey)
Because I don’t want to be behind that gate (hey)
Now everybody sing along

Introducing Bono, straight out of Dublin…

Midnight
She’s on the street
She can’t sleep
She’s afraid to dream
10 years old, my spanish rose
You’ve seen things you never should have seen

Midnight
She’s on the street
Oh, she can’t sleep
She’s afraid to dream
10 years old, my spanish rose
You’ve seen things you never should have seen

You know you raised me with no father figure
