Thanksgiving with Bono

Happy Thanksgiving friends and family!

As I sat in the kitchen drinking a glass of red wine and eating a plate of rice topped garbanzo beans and red sauce, I thought of my family. As U2 filled the air with their beautiful lyrics, I could not help but think about what my family was doing at the moment. Most likely, they are eating some delicious food and enjoying conversation with a football game being shown on T.V. in the living room.

Although my heart would love to be with them, there is something good about being alone. Many times our absence from family and friends helps us to see how deeply we love them. I know this it true for me.

When You Look at the World
U2

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 its no use
I cant see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone elses
And youre trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep

When theres all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You dont even blink now do you
Dont even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you its no use
I cant see what you see
When I look at the world

I cant wait any longer
I cant wait til Im stronger
Cant wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

Im in the waiting room
I cant 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
Whats wrong with me
