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
