Searchin Lyrics

Let go, of what ya know
Return to the land of the rainbow
Where the sun hangs low, and the wind does blow
And the time it moves so slow


It creeps and go, through the window
Turn to the land where the wild may roam
And the buffalo go, yeah the buffalo go
Where the wild may roam, yeah

Across the country side search far and wide
Diggin’ till I reach up on the other side
Streams and the rivers and the oceans and there’s trees
And I’ll swim with the fishes down deep

(Chorus)
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life


I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life, my life
Lift your eyes, up on the hillside
Sunrise and I fight to see through the lies
Keep upon the skies and the clouds so high
When I fly to the heights I’m feeling oh so right

Running ‘pon the land and I’m picking up sand
When I stand and deliver the plan
Won’t you please back down or get slammed to the ground
When my sound strike thunder
While you pillage and plunder

Now you wonder why you’re going under
Got yourself on the run from the number one
That you can’t run from

Your spirit fades, you feel hunger

I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life

I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life, my life
In the earth there are so many wonderful treasures
And if you know where to dig then you’ll find gold and diamond

I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life

I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life, my life

In the earth there are so many wonderful treasures
And if you know where to dig you’ll find gold and diamonds and silver
And all kinds of treasures
But if you don’t know where to dig, all you’ll find is rock and dirt

A rebbe is the geologist of the soul
He can show you where to dig, and what to dig for
But the digging you must do yourself
The digging you must do yourself
