The Wanderer U2 Featuring Johnny Cash
From Zooropa, Featuring Johnny Cash
I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won’t turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering
I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can’t walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don’t want God in it
I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name
I went with nothing
But the thought you’d be there too
Looking for you
I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents
I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father’s right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don’t you wait up
Jesus, I’ll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I’d be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you’d be there too
Looking for you
Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

@st123722
Excuse me? You really need to get rid of that ego of yours. This songs lyrics are open to interpretation and I shared that the lyrics relate to Mormonism at one point in the song.
You loud ignoramus.
@Armeniacolombia29 …
@Armeniacolombia29 One way of looking at it, even if you’re not into worshipping God as a separate entity, is that people are forgetting themselves… forgetting what made their past actions special, even great. Loss of the god within themselves; a loss of sensitivity, humility, self-perspective. What’s sad is that any society that is dead in it’s heart to these things becomes increasingly a society not worth living in.
