Cover art for The Wanderer lyrics by U2

i beilieve the song to be about a man longing for the perfect life in a perfect world but he cannot find it hence at the end going out with a bible and a gun. he tells Jesus he will be 'home soon', i take this to be heaven as he plans to use the gun to take his life as he knows he will never be in a perfect world in his natural life
