SEEKING STILL
All my life I’ve searched for inner peace
To make the voices cease
A sweet release
That leads me to a calm
And now and then I find a pathway there
Some moment without care
A jewel rare
Like truth inside a song
But soon as I arrive, the destination’s gone
I’m back upon a path that’s always winding and is long
Seeking still…
Down on this blue ball we yearn for harmony
To set the captive free
And let them see
The beauty of it all
And now and then there is a common ground
Some arc of justice found
And we’re homeward bound
Toward a greater call
But soon as we’ve arrived, the destination’s gone
We’re back upon the path that’s always winding and is long
Seeking still…
And I wonder bout the ways these journeys both combine
Our restless inner searchin and these mountaintops we climb
So in every new tomorrow that dawns for us to see
Let’s keep the restless drive for both alive in you and me.
Seeking still…
