Walk On -- U2

And love is not the easy thing  The only baggage you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing. The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind   And if the darkness is to keep 
us apart  And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on  What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it  Walk on, walk on  Stay safe tonight...
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen You could have flown away 
A singing bird in an open cage Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on  What you got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it Walk on, walk on  Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches  And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much  Walk on, walk on

Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the heart is  I know it aches  How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much  Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind  You've got to leave it behind  All that you fashion
All that you make  All that you build  All that you break
All that you measure  All that you steal  All this you can leave behind
All that you reason  All that you sense  All that you speak
All you dress up  All that you scheme...  

This song is about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese activist who was sentenced to house arrest in 1989 for protesting her government. Earlier that year, while walking with some of her supporters, soldiers blocked their path and pointed rifles at them. Suu Kyi kept walking, despite orders to stop. The soldiers threatened to shoot her, but didn't. Her actions have been closely monitored by the government, but she remains an influential leader and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.                                                         (songfacts.com)
