"An American Prayer" - Bono on American Idol...?

Question

Good advice for the contestants? The guy makes sense, tries to make a difference, etc. How do you feel???

It's a better world with Bono in it.

Answer 1

Bono is awesome! 99% of the work that's going on to help those in need in Africa today can be attributed to his campaigning. He is in a position where he can make a difference and, compassionate man that he is, he does. There should be more people like him!

Answer 2

I adore Bono. I literally think the world of him and his endeavors to end world famine and disease.

I liked the song okay too. It's not his best work but it said just what needed to be said. It was co-written by The Eurhythmics' Dave Stewart by the way.

I think anyone who is an artist... be it a singer or a musician or a producer... needs to recognize the fact that Bono and U2 really changed music for the better. I thank God for him... he's truly a decent man.

This is the time to finish what you started.
This is no time to dream.
This is the room. We can turn off the dark tonight.
Maybe then we might see.
This is my American Prayer
American Prayer.
This is the land.
The land that keeps your feet from getting wet.
And this is the sky over our head.
Remember that what you see depends on where you stand.
And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land.
This is my American Prayer.
American Prayer.

Chorus:
My oh my, let's not get tired.
Let's not kick at the darkness.
Let's make the light brighter.
These are the hands
What are we going to build with them?
This is a church you can't see.
Give me your tired and poor and huddled masses.
You know they're yearning to breathe free.

Answer 3

Yes I always thought that. Everyone can and should contribute money or a little of themselves to change the world for the better. It can be done!
