There's been darkness
And it's all around
Shadows and lies, and lies
I've been wandering
Through this barren ground
Waiting and hoping and praying for something that's true
And each night
While the world is asleep
I've been dreaming of the light
I've been searchin'
For a thousand years
I've been searchin'
Through this veil of tears
I've been searchin'
For a heart that's true
I've been searchin'
I've been searchin' for you
Searchin' for you
There's a hunger
And it burns my soul
A yearning to be free
Oh, but I know that my time is at hand
I can feel you deep inside
I've been searchin'
For a thousand years
I've been searchin'
Through this veil of tears
I've been searchin'
For a heart that's true
I've been searchin'
Yeah, searchin' for you
Oh yeah
Each night
While the world is asleep
I've been dreaming of the light
I've been searchin'
For a thousand years
I've been searchin'
Through this veil of tears
I've been searchin'
For a heart that's true
I've been searchin'
Yeah, searchin' for you
I've been searchin', searchin' for you
Searchin'
Through this veil of tears
I've been searchin'
For a heart that's true
searchin'
I've been searchin' for you
