Bono - Heartland lyrics

See the sunrise over her skin Don't change it See the sunrise over her skin Dawn changes everything, everything And the delta sun Burns bright and violent Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six - a highway speaks Of deserts dry Of cool green valleys Gold and silver veins All the shining cities In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows This is a heartland Heartland, our heartland See the sunrise over her skin She feels like water in my hand Freeway, like a river Cuts through this land Into the side of love Like a burning spear And the poison rain Like dirty tears Through the ghostranch hills d**h Valley waters In the towers of steel Belief goes on and on In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows This is a heartland
