Lyric discussion by Anne Marie 

This is so much different than all the other U2 songs. I really like it a lot, it's a very good bedtime song as well. I heard Bono comment on it in the Rolling Stone interview and he told a funny story about it. He said that he was in his car in front of the traffic lights when it was played on the radio. A lot of people where staring at him and he blushed terribly. Not because of the stares but because he thought his voice sounded like a girls voice! He said he sang the song to high.

@Anne Marie Even the most confident singer can doubt themselves! His perception was 'it was a girls voice' my perception of reality is that he sang it 'perfectly'

My perception of the lyrics is this:

Sleep, sleep tonight and may your dreams be REALIZED! If the thundercloud passes rain, so let it rain, REIGN on him!
