The second cover song that I’m learning is one of the oldest songs that I know.
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 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 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 But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

It is one of the first songs by U2 that I figured out. The lyrics are confusing and repetitive. Despite growing up listening to it, I never studied the lyrics. It’s also very high for my vocal range, making emoting challenging. Plus, Bob details a dinner that he had with Bono, which kinda changed his music trajectory. Bob respects Bono a lot. And I do too, after studying the last verse.
