Song Meaning
Tommee Profitt's reading of this familiar lyric keeps the searching front and center, opening with the image of climbing the highest mountains and framing the whole journey as an attempt to be near someone. The repeated confession that the singer still hasn't found what they're looking for lands like a refrain of holy discontent — the sense that even the grandest human effort leaves a gap. The turn toward "these city walls," repeated as if circling a locked gate, sharpens the picture: the seeker is not wandering aimlessly but pressing against barriers, still oriented toward the one they long to reach. The sparse lines leave room for the listener to fill in what the object of that longing is, and in a worship setting the ache reads as the soul's restlessness until it rests in God. Rather than resolving into arrival, the song stays in the tension between pursuit and fulfillment, which is where much of faith actually lives. It closes on the same note it began, an unfinished reach rather than a settled answer.

I have climbed the highest mountains
Only to be with you
And I still haven't found what I'm looking for
And I still haven't found what I'm looking for
These city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
