rules, regulations, traditions.
I think what God is interested in
is people's hearts, and that's hard enough.

God's Spirit moves through us and the world
at a pace that can never be constricted

Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,

Religion to me is almost like when God leaves -
and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.

The less you know, the more you believe.

Religion often gets in the way of God.

a love and mystery God is -
and how small are the minds
that attempt to corral
this life force into rules and taboos,
cults and sects.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth
are rotting when I listen to the radio.

U2 is an original species...
there are colors and feelings and emotional terrain
that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.

I'm actually starting to like more and more people
who have convictions that are unpopular.
Now at what point does an unpopular conviction
interfere with your own human rights?

The list goes on. You know, God has some really weird kids,
and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

Some people stay for awhile,

They awaken us to a new understanding,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.

we borrow it from our Children.

sparkling like a star in our hand -
and melting like a snowflake.
