In My Dream, I Was Drowning My

You See, Africa Makes A Fool Of Our Idea Of Justice. It Makes A Farce Of Our Idea Of Equality. It Mocks Our Pieties. It Doubts Our Concern. It Questions Our Commitment. Because There Is No Way We Can Look At What's Happening In Africa, And If We're Honest, Conclude That It Would Ever Be Allowed To Happen Anywhere Else.

You See, Idealism Detached From Action Is Just A Dream. But Idealism Allied With Pragmatism, With Rolling Up Your Sleeves And Making The World Bend A Bit, Is Very Exciting. It's Very Real. It's Very Strong.

The Idea That There Is One Kind Of African Is Of Course Ridiculous. Sometimes African Entrepreneurs Want To Kill You Because You Are Saying Public Health Is The Priority, Not Roads. Of Course They Are Right To Press For That Issue, But So Are We Right, I Believe, To Argue For Example That Millions Of Children Could And Should Be Vaccinated.

It's Much Easier To Be Successful Than It Is To Be Relevant. The Tricks Won't Keep You Relevant. Tricks Might Keep You Popular For A While, But In All Honesty, I Don't Know How U2 Will Stay Relevant. I Know We've Got A Future. I Know We Can Fill Stadiums. And Yet With Every Record, I Think, 'is This It? Are We Still Relevant?'

Pop Music Often Tells You Everything Is Ok, While Rock Music Tells You That It's Not Ok, But You Can Change It.
