Magnificent!

So, I decided to use Magnificent as one of the songs I'm going to try to unpack this Sunday.  Try to have a listen, but the lyrics are below.  What is Bono singing about?  or better yet, WHO is Bono singing about?


Magnificent

Oh, oh, magnificent

 

I was born, I was born

To be with you in this space and time

After that and ever after

I haven't had a clue only to break rhyme

This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue, oh, oh

 

Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love can heal such a scar

 

I was born, I was born to sing for you

I didn't have a choice but to lift you up

And sing whatever song you wanted me to

I give you back my voice from the womb

My first cry, it was a joyful noise, oh, oh

 

Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love can heal such a scar

Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh

Magnificent, magnificent, oh, oh

 

Only love, only love can leave such a mark

But only love, only love unites our hearts

Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh

Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent
