STEVE EARLE lyrics - The Seeker

(Steve Earle)



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

Whatever you do be a seeker



All these years I have wandered and 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 full of sorrow, hunger and pain

It's so hard to explain why I'm still travelin'

But there's a new day tomorrow and maybe I'll hold

Something brighter than gold to a seeker
