Der Song entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit Allah Rakha Rahman, einem bekannten indischen Sänger und Komponisten, der Bono im letzten Chorus des Titels auch gesanglich unterstützt.
Lyrics (Danke an U2songs):
I’ll meet you where the sky is torn.
I’ll meet you in the end.
I’ll meet you before the world was born.
When we had not a care
This is an invitation
To a high location
From someone who wants to be loved
This is a meditation
On your radio station
If you like it you can sing along
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
I’ll meet you where there is no weeping
Your tears are now a stream
I’ll meet you where there is no sleeping
But we wake up to dream.
This is an invitation
To a high location
From someone who wants to be loved
This is a meditation
On your radio station
If you like it you can sing along.
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
[A.R. Rahman]

Ahimsa (Sanskrit, f., अहिंसा, ahiṃsā, wörtlich das Nicht-Verletzen) bedeutet Gewaltlosigkeit – eines der wichtigsten Prinzipien im Hinduismus, Jainismus und Buddhismus. (aus Wikipedia)
