U2 - 13 (There Is A Light) Lyrics






And if the terrors of the night
Come creeping into your days
And the world comes stealing children from your room
Guard your innocence from hallucination
And know that darkness always gathers around the light

If there is a light
We can't always see
If there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Now we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

When the wind screams and shouts
And the sea is a dragon's tail
And the ship that stole your heart away
Sets sail

When all you've left is leaving
And all you got is grieving
And all you know is needing

If there is a light
We can't always see
If there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Now we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

'Cause this is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me

I know the world is done
But you don't have to be
I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves
Are you tough enough to be kind?
Do you know your heart has its own mind?
Darkness gathers around the light
Hold on
Hold on

There is a light
We can't always see
If there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me

    This song make me fly away🥰💋

    2015. We fell in love. We thought we could beat the world together. That we could do anything together. A couple of times, you tried to break my heart. I never noticed it was wrong because I still loved you, you fool.. You wouldn't let me hang out with others. It made you so jealous. I was miserable, you made me so sad and miserable. Called my dad, that is a huge fan of U2, he told me to do what's right. Do what's right for something like that. After breaking up with you, I felt proud for doing that, because you were the one that was controlling me this whole time, making me feel guilty after trying to break my heart.. Don't miss you. I always thought there was a light. Even through the toughest times. There is always a light, everyone.

    I swear I listened to a different version of this song on U2 Spotify but I don't remember which track. I tried to listen one by one but can't find it. Can anyone help me?

    j.... ....

    Perhaps you've heard the track ' Song For Someone ' which is the prequel to 13 (There Is A Light)...

    j.... ....

    @Wasef IM Wow you're right, thanks man! I can sleep peacefully now 😂

    I danced to this song with my dad when I got married. U2 is my favorite band and my dad gave me that. This song embodies our relationship and everything my dad has taught me. I'm sure this song means the same to many others. U2 brings so much meaning to their songs. I love that this band gives us songs like that.

  7. M.... S....

    Love it

  8. P.... ....

    This song will probably end up being as timeless as One.

    И если ужасы ночи
    Заползают в твои дни,
    И мир является, чтобы похитить детей из твоей комнаты,
    Оберегай свою невинность
    От галлюцинаций
    И знай, что тьма всегда сгущается возле источника света.

    Существует свет, его не всегда дано увидеть.
    Если существует мир, мы в нём не навсегда.
    Если существует тьма, а в этом нет сомнений,
    И существует свет, не дай ему погаснуть.

    Когда ветер воет и шумит,
    И море бьётся, как хвост дракона,
    И корабль, укравший твоё сердце, расправляет паруса,
    Когда всё, что у тебя осталось, тебя оставляет,
    И горечь утрат переполняет,
    И ты не знаешь, чего тебе не хватает...

    Если существует свет, его не всегда дано увидеть.
    Если существует мир, мы в нём не навсегда.
    Если существует тьма, а в этом нет сомнений,
    И существует свет, не дай ему погаснуть.

    Это просто песня,
    Песня для кого-то,
    Кто похож на меня.

    Я знаю, мир пропал,
    Но для тебя ещё не всё потеряно.
    Я хочу спросить твоего внутреннего ребёнка, пока он здесь:
    В тебе достаточно силы для того, чтобы быть добрым?
    Знаешь ли ты, что твоё сердце разумеет по-своему?
    Тьма сгущается возле источника света,
    Крепись, крепись.

    Существует свет, его не всегда дано увидеть.
    Если существует мир, мы в нём не навсегда.
    Если существует тьма, а в этом нет сомнений,
    И существует свет, не дай ему погаснуть.

    И это песня,
    Песня для кого-то,
    Это песня,
    Песня для кого-то,
    Кто похож на меня,
    Кто похож на меня,
    Кто похож на меня.

  11. F.... a....

    Magnifique chanson. ..

  12. M.... C....

    what is this Coldplay cover band?

    M.... C....

    @Amrep dude499 20 actually, formed in 1976. i'm a big 1980-1993 U2 fan. They were my favorite band between age 14-16. Doesn't change the fact that now they're doing Coldplay type bullshit.

    M.... C....

    @Milk Carton True. I understand you Point of view. I'm currently 16, huge fan of all the albums. I love unforgettable fire, Joshua tree, Achtung, and War the most. Definitely never as good as the old stuff, but you gotta admit they sound fantastic in concert

    M.... C....

    The albums aren't as good as the older stuff*

    M.... C....

    @Amrep dude499 That's cool. I was 16 hmm... 24 years ago. It's nice still that as there were 16 years old in 1994 and 16 years old in 1984 getting into U2, there are 16 years old now that are doing the same.


    My favorites are Boy, Unforgettable fire, Joshua Tree and Achtung baby.

    M.... C....

    Coldplay wishes they were this good. Nice try asshole

  13. P.... P....

    It was very long time from album Joshua tree, roots of albums, old school, live to see, bono and u2 are back...

  14. 0.... ....

    I love U2 💜 from the very first time I heard them. I hope to see them live someday.

  15. M.... W....

    A gorgeous prayer.

  16. E.... A....

    Someone like like me

  17. I.... B....

    You got a face not spoiled by beauty
    I have some scars from where I’ve been
    You’ve got eyes that can see right through me
    You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen

  18. I.... B....

    incredible and unforgettable irish sound of U2 !

  19. t.... ....

    The comparison between there live performance and the studio versions on their last two albums has been stark. A lot of the songs on these albums are actually very good but the studio somehow seems to suck the life out of them - also U2 fan :-)

    t.... ....

    If you go all the way back to the very beginning U2 have always struggled in the studio, by their very own admission They are genuine song writers, whose music really come alive in front of a live audience...that’s part of the mystery and magic...

  20. B.... A....

    this is the song for someone

  21. M.... ....

    will never ever let them dim my light again

  22. T.... b....

    This is the best song in the world.

  23. B.... Q....

    U2 are Brilliant please check this video of mine about Belfast https://youtu.be/rg_avszCfeY

  24. T.... D....

    This song and the whole damn album is FANTASTIC!! This album is totally better than Songs of Innocence. Top to bottom, this new album is a classic!

  25. C.... N....

    Does anyone know how to play on the piano?

    C.... N....

    Ihr seid lieb!!!!

  26. N.... L....

    This song is hauntingly beautiful and actually got me through a very tough time in 2017...

  27. S.... M....

    song song song it's for my my andmy

  28. P.... S....

    sounds like the continuing of 'song for someone'

    P.... S....

    well duh

    P.... S....

    Sherlock Holmes in da house tonight

    P.... S....

    Check out the big brain on Brad.

    P.... S....

    It's almost as if they wanted to thematically tie this record to the previous one.

  29. I.... F....

    ÁLBUM EXCELENTE 8 DE 10 MUCHO MEJOR QUE EL ANTERIOR ESTE SI ES U2

  30. f.... a....

    Se c'è una piccola luce
    nel tuo freddo cuore
    accendila
    la sua fiamma allontanera' la tua ansia
    illuminera' il tuo volto
    se c'e' una piccola speranza
    di rivederti sorridere
    dopo momenti bui
    che spero non ti assaliscano più'
    accendi una piccola luce
    per te, per noi
    per abbandonare il dolore
    e volare insieme
    sul mondo di tristezza
    io l'ho accesa
    aspetto di vedere la tua.....

  31. D.... M....

    This is incredible.

    U2
    And if the terrors of the night
    Come creeping into your days
    And the world comes stealing children from your room
    Guard your innocence
    From hallucination
    And know that darkness always gathers around the light
    If there is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    Now we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out
    Hmm
    When the wind screams and shouts
    And the sea is a dragon's tail
    And the ship that stole your heart away
    Sets sail
    When all you've left is leaving
    And all you got is grieving
    And all you know is needing
    If there is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    Now we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out
    'Cause this is a song
    A song for someone
    Someone like me
    I know the world is done
    But you don't have to be
    I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves
    Are you tough enough to be kind?
    Do you know your heart has its own mind?
    Darkness gathers around the lights
    Hold on
    Hold on
    There is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    That we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out
    And this is a song
    A song for someone
    This is a song
    A song for someone
    Someone like me
    Someone like me
    Someone like me

  33. J.... C....

    Thank u Holy Spirit for Bono and u2

    J.... C....

    amen to that

  34. A.... C....

    love it

  35. T.... ....

    Achtung baby is the only album that does not have trash throw-away song. This is the throw away song of this album. Should have left off- the previous track on album was a great end.

    T.... ....

    no this, is is a great finish to the song in their heads from SOI, this is experience..

    T.... ....

    A song about me.

    T.... ....

    You clearly don’t understand.

    T.... ....

    One of the best songs theyve ever done

  36. V.... P....

    Top!!!!!😍😍😍

  37. N.... ....

    great job <3

  38. B.... V....

    "Are you tough enough to be kind?" This song is beautiful.

    B.... V....

    Brian Vaszily , I like it too !!😍

    B.... V....

    Brian Vaszily yes

  39. m.... l....

    it's amazing!!!

  40. A.... L....

    U2 recycling songs...what a pity...(from an U2 fan).

    A.... L....

    Yes, this is better than any of the Achtung Baby or The Joshua Tree songs!! jeeeeezzzzz.

    A.... L....

    Pfft... a U2 Fan? A true U2 fan knows that the version in SOI was for Ali... This one expands on that and is to his children... He wrote it for them to listen to when he is no longer here... Listen to it in that context and you'll understand.

    A.... L....

    It's not quite that straightforward; Innocence and Experience are 2 interconnected albums. This song has elements of another one but it os overall completely different. There is a certain beauty to it and the words are wonderful.

    A.... L....

    its more like a bonus track

    A.... L....

    Took me a while to figure out... It's a bookend track. It's the flip side of innocence.
