First and foremost AMAZING!!!!!....Clearly Bono is speaking to his Mother in this song.
"Only love, only love can leave such a mark"
He is speaking of the incredible love between a Mother and her child
"But only love, only love can heal such a scar"
Here he is saying that the only thing that can heal the scar that he has
from the death of his mother is the love he still feels for and from her.
"I give you back my voice"
Bono is telling his Mom that when he sings he sings for her
"Justified till we die, you and I will magnify The Magnificent"
"Till we die" means that although she is dead she still lives within and through him.
"Magnify The Magnificent"...Magnify the enjoyment of the MAGNIFICENT thing she gave Bono(her son) LIFE!!!!!
Oh my WORD! I love your insite and opinion.... No idea if it's the "real" meaning behind the song.... but as a mother of 4, I LOVE that is potentially just that:)

You seem to be on the right track with your lyrical predictions, but when he says "born to be with you", this makes me think it may not be is mother!
