Bono's Magnificat?


U2's latest album contains a song called Magnificent. Is this Bono's Magnificat? Take a look at the lyrics:


I was born

I was born to be with you

In this space and time

After that and ever after

I haven't had a clue

Only to break rhyme

This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue

Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love can heal such a scar


I was born

I was born to sing for you

I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up

And sing whatever song you wanted me to

I give you back my voice

From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise…

Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love can heal such a scar


Justified till we die, you and I will magnify

The Magnificent

Magnificent


Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love unites our hearts


Justified till we die, you and I will magnify

The Magnificent

Magnificent

Magnificent
