Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

The Seeker

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, hey

In a world full of sorrow, hunger and pain

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

There's a new day tomorrow and maybe I'll hold

Somethin' 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

Again
