20 anos de Achtung Baby: A versão 'bebê' de "Mysterious Ways"

Na biografia U2 BY U2 de 2006, Bono diz: "Isso é o U2 no seu ponto mais funk. Uma música sensual. O Sly And The Family Stone encontraram a liberdade de Manchester. Criamos alguns versos diferentes, mas o Edge gostava realmente da poesia infantil que acabou vingando. "Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon/ Let her pale light in, to fill up your room’". É uma canção sobre um homem que vive com muito pouco ou nenhum romantismo. Teve um momento que pensamos em chamar o álbum de "Fear of Women". O Edge surgiu com "It’s all right, it’s all right". Ele queria provar seu ponto de vista, por isso disse:
-Nunca tivemos uma música que dissesse que está tudo bem."

Um dos discos bônus de edições especiais de 20 anos do 'Achtung Baby', é batizado de “Kindergarten” (“jardim da infância”) e contém versões alternativas de todas as faixas originais de Achtung Baby.
Esta versão citada por Bono na entrevista está presente em "Kindergarten".
Traz versos diferentes e Bono em um trecho diz "fear of woman", que é de onde veio a ideia para "Fear Of Women", o título que poderia ter sido utilizado no álbum de 1991!

Confira a letra de Mysterious Ways (Baby Version):

Johnny, take a walk with your sister, the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground
You've been eating from a can
You've been running away from what you don't understand
Love

Fear of falling
Fear of not jumping
Fear of failure
Fear of winning

It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
No, love

Johnny, take a break, you've been staring at the sun
Don't you know you can't make it with everyone
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you wanna turn her on, then say how you feel it

Fear of dying
Fear of no one
You fear love
You fear a woman

It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, alright
You lift my days and you light up my nights
Oh no

One day you will look back and you'll see
Where you were held
How, by this love, while you could stand there
And not move on the moment
Move through the feeling

It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
She moves in miracle ways
It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
We move through miracle days
It's alright, it's alright, alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
Oh love, oh love
It's alright, it's alright, alright
You lift my days and you light up my nights, oh
