The Seeker Steve Earle

[Verse]
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"

[Verse]
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

[Verse]
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

[Verse]
In a world filled of sorrow, hunger, and pain
It's so hard to explain why I'm still traveling
There's a new day tomorrow and maybe I'll hold
Something brighter than gold to a seeker

[Verse]
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
