Peace On Earth

This is about tensions in Northern Ireland. Bono wrote it in one night after a bombing in the town of Omagh.

The Lyrics "She never got to say goodbye, To see the color in his eyes, now he's in the dirt" is about how James Barker, a victim, was remembered by his mother Donna Maria Barker in an article in the Irish Times after the bombing in Omagh.

Sean and Julia, Gareth, Anne, and Breda, were victims of the Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland. They died Saturday, August 15, 1998.
