This song is about Bono asking god to help the world. It's about how he thinks people are ruining this world and the only person that can save us is god.

you sure? or maybe its bout the tensions in Northern Ireland. Bono wrote it in one night after a bombing in the town of Omagh. The Lyrics "She never got to say goodbye, To see the colour in his eyes, now he's in the dirt" was about how James Barker, a victim, was remembered by his mother Donna Maria Barker in an article in the Irish Times after the bombing in Omagh. Sean and Julia, Gareth, Anne, and Breda, were victims of the Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland. They died Saturday, August 15, 1998.
