A letra da versão definitiva da canção "Boy Falls From The Sky"

A canção "Boy Falls From The Sky", de autoria do U2, para o musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark", foi interpretada pela primeira vez em 2010 por Reeve Carney e o banda da peça, no programa de TV "Good Morning America". Naquele momento, a diretora da peça era Julie Taymor.


Pouco tempo depois, foi a vez do U2 apresentar a canção em um show da turnê 360° em Portugal.

A letra da primeira versão:

You can change your mind
But you cannot change your heart
It’s a compass and a map
The key to the chart

I’d be myself
If I knew who I’d become
You fly too high
And get too close to the sun

See how the boy falls from the sky

Not every wanderer
Is lost or far from home
I didn’t have to move so far
To find myself alone

Save, you save yourself
Can’t even get that right
I used to use a single thread to cross the sky
And now the eye of the needle is a heart denied

See how the boy falls from the sky

The city conducts a symphony
The search through shit for melody
A single scrap of dignity
In the junkyard of humanity

On the burning rubble and the sulphur sky
We look for clues yeah, you and I
Although the screams and the sirens wail
The Catholic light is up for sale

The subway screech soars down the drain
The thunder when there is no rain
So listen hard, listen again
To your own voice and the rain comes back

You know exactly what to do
The you and me, the we and you
Together you start the self esteem
And when you do
And when you do
And you believe


Em junho de 2011, quando foi lançada a trilha sonora de 'Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark', que traz canções escritas por Bono e Edge do U2, a canção 'Boy Falls From The Sky' apareceu em sua versão de estúdio com letra diferente da que foi apresentada anteriormente pela banda do musical e pelo U2 em Portugal.
Bono e Edge reescreveram diversos trechos da letra e a canção foi regravada em estúdio, tudo isso devido à remodelação que a primeira versão da peça sofreu. O novo diretor é Phillip William McKinley.

A letra definitiva da canção:

You can change your mind
But you cannot change your heart
Your heart knows what you're hiding
Your heart knows where you are

I'd be myself if I knew who I'd become
You don't have to fly too high
To get too close to the sun

See the boy fall from the sky

You will always be in front of me
Even as I disappear from view
For I have not a single thing
Without the thought of you

But no, not here, not now, no way
I'm not ready to give up the fight
If I can use a single thread to cross the sky
Then why is the eye of the needle
Still your heart tonight

See how the boy falls from the sky

The city conducts a symphony
I'll search through the trash for a melody
That might lead us back to dignity
In this junkyard of humanity
To let you go without regret
I will forever hold you always in my heart inside
Over the screams and the siren's wail
The only thing not up for sale
Are lovers like lights on a midnight train
Hearts like thunder with no sign of rain
Lightening splits the sky, kisses your face
Yours is the sacrifice, yours is the grace
I hear your voice inside my head
I wil listen to nobody, not to no one else
From the bridge where we both stood and stole the view
I saw the you in me and the me in you
These are the threads that bind
The ones we have to weave
They will hold us true, I believe
I believe
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Believe, believe, believe
