Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity. -Chesterton

This whole lonesome disciple, identity finding, muscle building, existentialist month has sucked. But I've found some redemption in U2... of all places. I don't know what this song is really about, but the lyrics, taken superfically, hit me right where I'm at.

Lay down
Lay down
Lay your sweet lovely on the ground
Lay your love on the track
We’re gonna break the monster’s back
Yes we are…
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don’t have time
For a jealous lover

As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart

I don’t know if I can take it
I’m not easy on my knees
Here’s my heart you can break it

I need some release, release, release

We need
Love and peace
Love and peace

Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons

I don’t know if I can make it
I’m not easy on my knees
Here’s my heart and you can break it
I need some release, release, release


We need
Love and peace
Love and peace

Baby don’t fight
We can talk this thing through
It’s not a big problem
It’s just me and you
You can call or I’ll phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned down
And the troops on the ground
Are about to dig in

And I wonder where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace

Feels like Dave Matthew's "The Space Between" with God in the middle. Dating sucks. And while I'm very over it all, its very discouraging. Where is HE? She's made me smoke way too much.

Much love all.
