Steve Earle The Seeker Lyrics

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
