The 8th track on the Zooropa album, touching lyrics about a man having troubles seeing that life is actually worth living:
I have a lover
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colours when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time
I feel love
I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me
When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time
I feel love
My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
Gave me a cup of gold
He said I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
And I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love
Small typo there, as it was released in 1993, not 95 x3, please forgive me...

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I love how perfectly subtle the Edge's guitar is beneath Bono's vocals.

I love this song, it's got that great line: "Shows me colours when there's none to see", that's what real friendship is :)
