[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)
