Music: U2 in performance: City of Blinding Lights

Another in our U2 series.

This one is an extravaganza, a spectacle — a spectacular show — is something lost in the mustic as a result?  The song is "City of Blinding Lights."

Poem by Jack Alvarez inspired by U2's song

GLORIA

Gloria...
I try to sing this song
I, I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Gloria...Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips

I try to sing this song
I, I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in

Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you
