I'm looking for something, can't find it anyplace It's there in the distance, starin' me in the face Right in front of me, but it's way beyond my reach And I know that I must try to find it Doin' some soul searchin', lookin' for myself Soul searchin', Lord, I need a little help Soul searchin' 'cause time has slipped away There's a dream I left behind in better days The start of the story is not where it all began So many directions, all of them a part of the plan I've heard too many voices sayin', "This is the way to be free" But I know where I can find the answers Doin' some soul searchin', lookin' for myself Soul searchin', Lord, I need a little help Soul searchin' 'cause time has slipped away There's a dream I left behind in better days Feeling the changes, there's something in the wind Gonna try to discover life's romance again Lookin' for a loser who tore it all apart Gonna take another look inside my heart Doin' some soul searchin', lookin' for myself Soul searchin', Lord, I need a little help Soul searchin' 'cause time has slipped away There's a dream I left behind in better days
