    My first born son died during the covid pandemic. This was his favorite song/band.
    I know he has now "found what's he's been looking for'" .
    Thank you Jesus ❤

      Karen ..I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 39 yr old son 13 years ago. I just found an old CD he had made of some of his favorite songs. This is one of them. He was a born again Christian, so I know I'll see him again. My husband died 2 days after my son...deaths not connected.
      I just recently found out the hospital chaplain had led him to the Lord shortly before he died! I was wondering about his situation with Jesus ... Now I feel I will see him again too . God is so good. ❤

    This is a gospel song. Sometimes, what we are looking for transcends the physical and in a marriage, couple still tend to look for happiness elsewhere when they have already been blessed. So let this song be a go to song in case they sway. Look for love, understanding and forgiveness in each other.

    I like to believe that the lyrics go beyond finding that perfect someone to fulfill a vacancy into which we are all born. You can't expect love to fill in all the gaps. The song suggests a spiritual quest, a thirst for meaning.

    When my first daughter Agnes was born, we received a baby U2 album as a gift. I knew some of their songs but wasn't a huge fan, however, I played it on repeat and we both enjoyed it. This track was my favorite. Years later our roads have taken us to different places in life, but I still think of her every day, looking forward to the day we get to see each other again. I always come back to this song and it takes me back to those days. I love you girl.

      Yeah he says he belives in Jesus but he still is looking for something else....its a reference to the scripture.Most music legends face a breaking point where they essentially have to break through their conscious and basically deny Jesus to choose the world.We find those moments referenced by all this big musicians Bono,Jared Leto,Katy Perry,Michael Jackson,Jay-z Beyonce and former Kanye West...when sin takes over and you tell Jesus"back off i want this".You have to start making a case with Him as He comes out and says"whoa whoa son do you see where you are now headed?"Its basically a quarrel with their own hearts.We see that conflict been published in their scriptures.It happens when you reach great depts of baxksliding and sin..when Christ tells you "you know you are heading yourself to hell,right?And their conscious kicks in and they want to start questioning the obvious.Christ is Lord wether we agree or disagree.And yes there is life after death those a facts engraved in each one of us' heart.

I finished Sing 2 recently and the seen with Clay Calloway brings so much emotion it feels as if my past self is coming out, I have so many emotions I've never felt before with this song.

    I can’t believe I have been so blind to think this beautiful song was about someone searching for that special love of their life. For years I thought this until I heard it today and I couldn’t figure why Kingdom Come and the colors bleed into one. I pulled the lyrics up and WOW it hit me. This is about Jesus and the words written in the Good Book. How badly I feel for thinking first of loves past. I should have listened closer. I will listen a lot closer to the wondrous words U2 sings. Thank you U2 for such a great way to spread the word and getting people like me to listen.

Two, working as a night shift barman in a London hotel in 97, watching a customer coming in and thinking "¿why seems this guy so familiar?" As it turned out, HE WAS THE EDGE, with his classic hat, and right behind him came BONO & LARRY MULLEN.
    They spent the whole night at the bar & acted absolutely kind & humble.

    It's so sad in a way no matter where you go in nature you'll find the beautiful world God had made, but never in your life can you actually be with him, only in spirit, only in faith. The closest you can get to him is with the faithful and in your dreams. One day though we will all be with him, only no longer as the people we are. When we are made anew that is when.

    [Verse 1]
    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
    [Chorus]
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    [Verse 2]
    I have kissed honey lips
    Felt the healing in her finger tips
    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
    [Chorus]
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
    [Verse 3]
    I believe in the Kingdom Come
    Then all the colours 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
    [Chorus]
    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

      This song is spiritual to me! I felt this way years ago when the song came out and have loved it and sang it since back then.. will never get tired of it. I have found Christ since then and He is all they say He is! My relationship with him has made look at the world differently and lose my fears of the world so I now have found what I'm looking for and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you God and God bless U2!!!!!!!!

    This song resembles life and our journey as individuals. Music is a personal experience and we can relate one way or another to the lyrics and interpret it in many ways - love, relationships, a relationship with ourselves , "our creator", the universe, faith, etc. I believe this is the meaning of life, to constantly find what we are looking for and all ends into faith in life itself.

    This song is actually about how he failed to find what he was looking for in the pleasures of life, and what it is, is a love song to God to Jesus Christ, he’s the only place where he can actually find what he’s looking for.
    It’s actually a love song to Jesus not a woman.

    As a Christian people think life is easy for me because we have a hope, we know for sure we’re saved. This songs is how I actually experience Christianity; I’m still running to my guiding light, even when it’s not visible. Not knowing exactly what I’m gonna find but when I find it, it is were I was looking for.

    I have always fealt this song was about Jesus dying for humanity’s sins &the journey of faith and love with Christ. As well as the things you personally will be disappointed with but that Christs love is the joy you ultimately experience when you realize what your looking for can’t be fulfilled by earthly things.
    The lyrics seem like a gospel song honestly.
    “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, of my shame.
    You know I believe it.”
