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

Yes, I know...
Only grammar and exercises... And, where on hell is fun in this blog, Ati?
I have been looking for some songs with the 'Present Perfect' and I've found a great example by U2, my favourite rock band: 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for' from the album 'The Joshua Tree' (1987)
A bit old, I know, but... who cares? THIS IS ROCK'N ROLL, GUYS!!!


I have climbed the  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
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
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...
