Why does "City of Blinding Lights" say that blessings go to both those who pray and those who steal? The song _City of Blinding Lights_ by U2 contains the following verse: > In the city of blinding lights, > The more you know > The less you feel > Some pray for, others steal > Blessings not just for the ones who kneel, luckily What does the last line refer to? Why do blessings go both to the ones who steal and the ones who pray?

I think the author is alluding to the biblical principal of God's undeserved kindness. If God doesn't bless problematic people, none of us could ever be blessed.
