Lyrics
All the times that I worked hard because I believed
That life could have meaning through things I've achieved
You knew, I was looking for You
Every time I thought romance might fill up the hole
That incomplete feeling still ached in my soul
Oh, You knew
I was looking for You
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
Didn't know it back then, but now I do
I was looking for You
I was looking for You
When I couldn't find comfort
In the things I could buy
When the party was over
And the bottle was dry
Oh, You knew
I was looking for You
(Yes, I was searching)
Oh, and I was searching
(I was searching)
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand (and a thousand) foolish (foolish)
Things I went through
Didn't know it back then but now I do
I was looking for You (I was looking for)
I was looking for You
Through the canyons and the heartaches
And the valleys of pain
And down those pathways full of pleasure
And those dead end roads of shame
Oh, I couldn't name the hunger
That I tried to satisfy
Down a hundred highways of empty pursuit
And a thousand foolish things I went through
In a moment (in a moment), I looked up (looked up)
From down on my knees
And I cried out (cried out), to heaven (heaven)
I could finally see (see Jesus)
Jesus (Jesus), Jesus (Jesus)
I know it's true (it's true)
All of my life I was looking for You
(Jesus)
