Day 489 - Day 124

“I believe in the Kingdom Come then all the colors will bleed into one”

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For: U2, Joshua Tree

 

This was such a huge album for U2, and to count the number of people who were inspired in some way or form from this album alone would take a long time to count. Bono always has such a level of spirituality in his lyrics- not really preaching I don’t feel, but putting his faith out there. I admire that.

 

It’s not hard to read in a lot of my posts that I am one for journeys. I see a lot of life as one journey that leads to yet another. Life has one lesson after another or so at least I see it that way. This song really always pulled that out to me- that we are as a humanity (or so I see it) always on a journey to find truth, meaning and purpose. To understand and learn- to love. I always saw a lot of truths in this song which is why I think that it called out to me…

 

*** Artist Notes ***

Light beams through the stained glass in the Washington National Cathedral created this spectrum, and I got behind the glass- changing he shutter speed. It took a while but was worth the shot!

 

Lyrics:

I have climbed highest mountains

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 a 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

 

But 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

But yes I'm still running

 

You broke the bonds

And you loosed the chains

Carried the cross

Of my shame

Oh my shame

You know I believe 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
