The Seeker
Back in '68 I was caught up
Chasing a dream
Everyone believed we could change the power machine
I demonstrated it, took it to street (took it to the street)
Outside everything (yeah)
Meditated it, waiting to see what the time would bring (the time would bring)
Some people call me the seeker (the seeker)
Some people call me a proof (proof)
Don't you be rocking the mood when you know the grooves
Oh no
Some people say I'm a dreamer (a dreamer)
Dreaming my whole life away (some people say)
The truth that I'm seeking I know will be mine one day
(The seeker, yeah)
(I'm the seeker, yeah-eh-eh)
By the time I turned around, it was 1973
People everywhere in the same discovery, oh yeah
Cut my hair short, got myself a job (got myself a job)
In a new society (yeah)
After ten years, buildings inside
People pushing me, pushing me (pushing me)
Some people call me the seeker (the seeker)
Some people call me a proof (some people say)
Don't you be rocking the mood when you know the grooves
Oh no
Some people say I'm a dreamer (a dreamer)
Dreaming my whole life away (away)
But the truth that I'm seeking I know
I know it will be mine one day, oh yeah
Ah, yeah (yeah, said I'm looking to save my)
Seeker (alright, seeker)
(I'm the seeker, yeah-eh-eh)
(I'm the seeker, yeah-eh-eh)
All I want is love and happiness (love and happiness)
The world will ever be mine? (ever be mine?)
Maybe we can find it together
At last, this time
Some people call me the seeker (the seeker)
Some people call me a proof (proof)
Don't you be rocking the mood when you know the grooves
Oh no
Some people say I'm a dreamer (a dreamer)
Dreaming my whole life away (some people say)
But the truth that I'm seeking I know will be mine one day
One day
One day
(I'm the seeker, yeah)
(I'm the seeker, yeah-eh-eh)
(I'm the seeker, hm)
(I'm the seeker, yeah-eh-eh)
