This is a rock song. But it's probably one of the deepest and most spiritually perceptive songs ever written. It's about a couple, or family members, or friends, but probably a couple, who have had one of those fights that go on into the night and whose relationship is breaking down. The singer is appealing to the oneness they share and what that means, and why their relationship must go on no matter what.
There is no doubt in my mind that God had a hand in writing this song. Bono, the U2 singer, is a true Christian. That might be hard for some religionists to swallow, but his faith is genuine and passionate.
I've been listening and praying with this song for awhile, and I believe it is helping save my marriage. People who think all rock music is inherently bad... I just feel sorry for them...

The devil wants to divide us, and division is matter of the heart, not of what you call your church or its "ground."
Do you have someone to blame? Are you blaming someone?
One.
For he himself is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition. Eph 2:14
