Lyrics

[Intro: The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr & Choir Director] Well, we wrote the song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" Which, um, is a gospel song pretty much I mean we, it doesn't sound much like a gospel song The way we do it But, if you look at the lyrics and the basic, music That's exactly what it is And we, we got a cassette from a friend of ours at Island Records Of, uh, a gospel choir covering song And it sounded like, sounded totally different But, it sounded really exciting and new So we travelled down to Harlem Where this choir, were, uh, going through a rehearsal And, uh, we played with them And got the idea to play with them To do kind of combination arrangement My own conga My very own conga Take it away, and [Verse 1: Bono] I have climbed highest mountain I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run, I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you [Chorus: Bono, The New Voices of Freedom] But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for All right [Verse 2: Bono, The New Voices of Freedom] I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like a fire (Burning hot like a this fire) This burning desire (Burning with desire) I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night (In the night) I was cold as a stone, yeah (Cold as stone) [Chorus] But I still haven't found what I'm looking for Alright, sing for me, yeah-yeah But I still haven't found what I'm looking for [Post-Chorus: Dorothy Terrell, Bono and Dorothy Terrell, Bono] He will lift ya, higher and higher He will pick you up when you fall you're down He'll be your the shelter from the storm, yeah [Verse 3: Bono, {Dorothy Terrell} The New Voices of Freedom] I believe in a the Kingdom Come {I believe, the Kingdom Come} Then all the colours will bleed into one {Colours, yeah, yeah} Bleed into one Well, but yes, I'm still running You broke the bonds (Broke the bonds) Loosed the chains (Loosed the chains) Carried the cross (Carried the cross) Of my shame (Of my shame) Of my shame You know I believed it {Ooh, I believe it, believe it} (I believe, I believe it) {You know, I do well, I believe it} [Chorus] But I still haven't found what I'm looking for Well, I still haven't found (Haven't found) what I'm looking for [Verse 1] I have climbed (I have climbed) The highest mountain (Highest mountain) I have run (I have run) Through the fields (Through the fields) Only to be with you (Only to be with you) Only to be with you (Just to be with you) I have run (I have run) I have crawled (I have crawled) I have scaled (I have scaled) These city walls (City walls) These city walls (Only to be with you) Only to be with you (Just to be with you) [Chorus: The New Voices of Freedom, Dorothy Terrell] But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still But I still haven't found haven't found what I'm looking for what I'm looking for, no, no, no, no, no, no But I still But I still haven't found haven't found what I'm looking for what I'm looking for, yeah (Searchin', lookin', higher) But I still But I still haven't found haven't found, yeah what I'm looking for what I'm looking for, no-oh-oh-oh (The New Voices of Freedom!)
