Lyrics

The heart of a champion, he dines with leaders while on tour
Encourages them to increase their aid to help the poor
They're done by noon, and he bids them farewell
He pays his bill, goes back to the hotel
Where he sleeps and he waits for the night

Just before sundown he wakes up, gets out of bed
A few cans of Guinness, a shot of rum to clear his head
He grabs his shades , now he's headed downtown
Picks up one life, puts another one down
And his body hums and the music's playing

He struts down the catwalk, and spots a woman in the crowd
"With or without you", a gentle kiss, she cries aloud
The band plays on, and he joins them again
Uplifting songs by four beautiful men
And their music brings the world together

Chorus

He's singing above the crowd's screams
Like no one, that they've ever seen
He's Bono, the man of their dreams

The magic fades as the lights turn on, it's time he goes
Goes back to the hotel, changes from his sweaty clothes
The band comes in, carrying cases of beer
He drinks and dances til his vision's unclear
And he passes out just after midnight
