Beautiful Day Lyrics

The heart is abloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's 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 moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh

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 and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood, all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

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 it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

What is the Meaning of Beautiful Day?

Bursting with optimism, this U2 anthem is a radiant reminder to seize the day, regardless of life's trials and tribulations. It explores human resilience amidst adversity - traffic jams, lack of space, even being stuck in the mud - all metaphorical representations of life's challenges. The song encourages listeners to find beauty in their struggles and to keep moving forward. It's like an audio pep talk from Bono himself! The lyrics also hint at a sense of wanderlust and global unity, painting vivid images from China to oil fields. In essence, it’s a celebration of life's beautiful chaos wrapped up in a catchy tune. So next time life throws you lemons, remember: "What you don't have, you don't need it now." Now that's some rock 'n roll wisdom we can all use!
