Walk On, U2
:
I witnessed the attack on the Pentagon and watched the building burn for more than two days. The following weeks were very difficult, but I fond myself listening to U2's Walk On several times a day to keep myself going. It's a song of strength and perseverance, and all of the lyrics seem as though they were written for that day. The lyrics that spoke to me most are "stay safe tonight," and the following verse:
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
