U2 when i look at the world lyrics

When you look at the world

What is it that you see?

People find all kinds of things

That bring them to their knees

I see an expression

So clear and so true

That it changes the atmosphere

When you walk into the room



So I try to be like you

Try to feel it like you do

But without you it's no use

I can't see what you see

When I look at the world



When the night is someone elses

And you're trying to get some sleep

When your thoughts are too expensive

To ever want to keep

When there's all kinds of chaos

And everyone is walking lame

You don't even blink now, do you

Or even look away



So I try to be like you

Try to feel it like you do

But without you it's no use

I can't see what you see

When I look at the world



I can't wait any longer

I can't wait till I'm stronger

Can't wait any longer

To see what you see

When I look at the world



I'm in the waiting room

Can't see for the smoke

I think of you and your holy book

While the rest of us choke



Tell me, tell me, what do you see?

Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me
