Gloria ... Gloria ...
Two! Three! Four!
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 en 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 en 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
Gloria en te domine
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria en te domine
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria en te domine
Gloria

One of the greatest anthems ever written.
The power of this song cannot be underestimated.
As I understand it, Bono composed it in less than half an hour,
desperate to complete October, the album it is included in.
The reaching, the effort, the spirit!
It exults and cries at the same time.
It's impeccable and poignant and deeply authentic.
