U2 - Rejoice

Rejoice lyrics

It's falling it's falling
And outside the buildings
Are tumbling down
And inside a child on the ground
Says he'd do it again

And what am I to do?
What in the world am I to say?
There's nothing else to do
He says he'll change the world someday
I rejoice

This morning
I fall out of bed when I woke up to what he has said
Everything's crazy
But I'm too lazy to lie

And what am I to do?
Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
If I rejoice
Rejoice

(Everything's falling down)

And what am I to do?
Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
If I rejoice

I don't know what to change
Rejoice
Master of the world
Rejoice
Will you open up?
Re~~joice
Rejoice
Re-reach out
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice

what they said

"Adam and Larry’s contributions were not as big because we were trying to come up with the minimum arrangement we could get away with. Everyone’s personality is there, and also the songs are U2 songs — so of course it’s a U2 album." - The Edge on whether Songs of Surrender is more a Bono and Edge project

did you know
