U2 Lyrics

Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind

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 changes the atmosphere

 When you walk to 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 else's

 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

 Don't 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 'til 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

 I can't see for the smoke

 I think of you and your holy book

 When the rest of us choke

 

 Tell me, tell me

 What do you see

 Tell me, tell me

 What's wrong with me
