"I Will Follow" Lyrics U2

I Will Follow is a live fan favorite. U2's chief lyric writer, Bono, was inpsired to write this song for his mother. She died when he was 14.

The first verse evokes imagery of a mother pointing out to her son the path he should probably follow, rather than the one he might have appeared to be on.

I Will Follow Lyrics:

I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by the hand
If he stops to think, he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when you go in there
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
Follow
