About This Track
'"40"' by U2 is a 1983 song on the album 'War'. Its lyrics are a plea for divine attention and deliverance, with the speaker describing being lifted from a pit and miry clay. The voice sounds expectant, then turns to vow and release, promising to sing a new song. The refrain keeps asking, with weary persistence, how long it will take to sing this particular song.
""40"" is a track by U2, from the album War, released 26th February 1983. Full lyrics are available below.
