3rd VERSE(The same as the other ones):
"I fought fate
 There's blood on the garden gate
 The man said childhood
 It's in his childhood

 One day I'll die
 The choice will not be mine
 Will it be too late
 You can't fight it

 I was of a feeling it was out of control
 I had the opinion it was out of control

 Oh...way oh way oh way.....oh  way  oh..."

No Picture ¿Josh Rhythm Player	#1 by ¿Josh Kirkpatrick? at Oct 26, 1970 at 10:26 AM EST
	On Bonos 18th birthday he realised that only god decides who lives and who dies.

No Picture Rich Average	#2 by Rich Frazer at Jul 12, 1974 at 10:42 PM EST
	My favorite song by U2, hehe :). As for the meaning, i think everyones said it...

No Picture Tyler Average	#3 by Tyler at Dec 8, 1976 at 9:29 PM EST
	This song is about waking up on your 18th bday and realising that the two major decisions in life have nothing to do with you, birth and death. It's out of your control. An early U2 song brought back to life on the elevation tour and is now a u2 favourite. Bono's a legend. Live at Slane is amazing... gives you a sense of uplifting

No Picture Bassdude Average	#4 by Bassdude at May 9, 1985 at 4:18 AM EST
	"I fought fate, there's blood on the garden gate The man said childhood, it's in his childhood And one day I'll die The choice will not be mine Will it be too late? You can't fight it " I think this songs about attempted suicide but the person realizes that only god should dicied when people die
