- Magnificent Lyrics

Magnificent
Oh, oh, magnificent

I was born, I was born
To be with you in this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

I was born, I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice from the womb
My first cry, it was a joyful noise, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent

And what do you naysayers say about their songs, 40 and Yahweh? Not about God, eh? Did a little research on Wikipedia and Bono says the song is about two lovers holding one another and worshipping.

This is a powerful song highlighting the magnificent power of God's amazing love. Even when our foolish mistakes leave us bruised. Love (unfailing love) is powerful enough to heal these scars

Actually Bono said he wrote this song for the Holy Mother. He is very spiritual and if you go to a U2 concert you know God is in the house! It was in the Catholic weekly news when the CD came out.

Simple. Bono sings to his fans. He has connected through his music to us. Whatever profound mesage you get from this song is exactly what its all about.

I think U2 might write music with more than one simple meaning...they are not as NAIVE and FOOLISH as some ascribe them to be here... Their music is rich with meaning and is certainly spiritual...

We are all justified once we accept Jesus into our lives! Justified meaning - just as if you have never sinned!When the enemy says look at how full of sin they are, Jesus says, they are forgiven!!!
