Steve Earle - The Seeker lyrics
[Steve Earle - The Seeker lyrics]
I was eight years old when my granddaddy died
He that showed me the signs
I still miss him sometimes
Been a long time ago
But his words still ring true
"Son, whatever you do, be a seeker"
All these years
I have wandered wherever I roamed
I was never alone or forsaken, I know
Somewhere way out yonder, I know I will find
That a bright beacon shines for a seeker
You can't always believe your eyes
It's your heart that sees
Through all the lies
And the first answer follows
The first question asked
The mystery unmasked by the seeker
In a world filled of sorrow, hunger, and pain
It's so hard to explain
Why I'm still traveling
There's a new day tomorrow
And maybe I'll hold
Something brighter than gold to a seeker
You can't always believe your eyes
It's your heart that sees
Through all the lies
And the first answer follows
The first question asked
The mystery unmasked by the seeker
He that showed me the signs
I still miss him sometimes
Been a long time ago
But his words still ring true
"Son, whatever you do, be a seeker"
All these years
I have wandered wherever I roamed
I was never alone or forsaken, I know
Somewhere way out yonder, I know I will find
That a bright beacon shines for a seeker
You can't always believe your eyes
It's your heart that sees
Through all the lies
And the first answer follows
The first question asked
The mystery unmasked by the seeker
In a world filled of sorrow, hunger, and pain
It's so hard to explain
Why I'm still traveling
There's a new day tomorrow
And maybe I'll hold
Something brighter than gold to a seeker
You can't always believe your eyes
It's your heart that sees
Through all the lies
And the first answer follows
The first question asked
The mystery unmasked by the seeker
