I have climbed the 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 fire This burning desire I have spoken with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of the 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 You carried the cross And all my shame All 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 But I still haven't found What I'm looking for

A batida única da música surgiu de um demo em que o baterista Larry Mullen Jr. criou um padrão rítmico exclusivo, que acabou sendo a base da faixa final.
Embora seja da banda irlandesa, a canção carrega fortes influências do gospel americano, refletindo o interesse do grupo pela música dos Estados Unidos.
Os vocais de apoio que dão à música um tom de coral foram cantados pelo próprio The Edge, além dos produtores Brian Eno e Daniel Lanois.
Lançada como segundo single de *The Joshua Tree*, a canção chegou ao número 1 na Billboard Hot 100, sendo o último sucesso da banda a alcançar esse posto até 2008.
Na cerimônia da 30ª edição do Grammy Awards, a música recebeu duas indicações: Gravação do Ano e Canção do Ano.
Desde seu lançamento, a faixa tem sido incluída em várias compilações, filmes e concertos ao vivo da banda, consolidando‑se como uma das mais reconhecidas da história da música.
