Bono’s wife Ali is a fervent supporter and volunteer for the Children from Chernobyl project that helped and aids the victims of the horrible nuclear accident there in April of 1986. She risks her own health to spend time there working with people who suffer the consequences of this tragedy. “When I Look at the World” salutes the unique and loving qualities this kind of commitment and courage takes. She is an example and inspiration to all who meet her and her husband feels flawed in comparison.
So I try to be like you/ Try to feel like you do/ I can’t see what you see/When I look at the world

When you look at the world
What is it that you see ?
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees
I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk into the room
So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it’s no use
I can’t see what you see
When I look at the world
When the night is someone elses
And you’re trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep
When there’s all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don’t even blink now, do you
Or even look away
So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it’s no use
I can’t see what you see
When I look at the world
I can’t wait any longer
I can’t wait till I’m stronger
Can’t wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world
I’m in the waiting room
Can’t see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke
Tell me, tell me, what do you see ?
Tell me, tell me, what’s wrong with me
