U2, the Irish rock band,
Their sound is so grand.
From the early days with Boy
Until their latest release, Songs of Innocence, joy.
Bono singing his heart out,
The Edge's guitar playing, not a doubt.
Adam and Larry on bass and drums,
Their music is simply stunning.
U2, the band that never ends,
With the unforgettable song they created with Bends.
The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby albums were great,
Just like their live shows, they never fail to create.
U2 are a rock band like no other,
Through their music they will stay forever.
Their lyrics and melodies are sublime,
This legendary band will be remembered in time.
