South American Odyssey

In early 1998 U2 performed their first concerts in South America as part of the fourth leg of the POP Mart Tour. I traveled to the shows in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina with friends from America and Europe.

Stop, the world is spinning	Through the storm we reach the shore. You give it all but I want more	Ohhh Ohhhh Ohhh!
They want you to be Jesus, to go down on one knee	If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel	How long must we sing this song?

One Heart	Did you come hear to play Jesus?	Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us	We hear their hearts beat, and still their hearts beat	In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears	We hear their hearts beat, and still their hearts beat	Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue	We hear their hearts beat, and still their hearts beat	In the trees our sons stand naked, through the walls our daughters cry, see their tears in the rainfall
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh	El Pueblo Vencera!	Christian, Martin and Ingred
Ingred, Nico and Darci	Happy Larry	The Edge
The Edge	The Edge	The Edge
