I still havn't found what I am looking for

"I still havn't found what I am looking for" is one of my favourite songs.

i do believe that everyone is constantly searching, for truth/ love/ contentment/ self worth/ peace/spiritual enlightenment. Bono supposedly wrote it to reflect on his, perhaps struggling, belief in Christianity. But, the beauty of this song is that you can interprete anyway you want to. See it in your own light.

To me, this song serves as a reminder for a couple of things:

i) sometimes what you are looking for may not be what you really need/want. You may think you want a successful career, a nice continental car, an unrevocable faith, a lovely home with 3 kids, a life-partner -- but the search becomes so consuming that by the time you are nearly done, you wonder what the heck are you looking for, why the heck did you start in the first place.

ii) contentment is the one of the hardest thing to find.

So to all my friends out there, I wish you the wisdom to know what you should look for, and that you will find it.

I still havn't found what I am looking for
- by U2

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

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone
I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
