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 Whatever you do be a seeker All these years I have wandered and 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 In a world full of sorrow, hunger and pain It's so hard to explain why I'm still travelin' But there's a new day tomorrow and maybe I'll hold Something brighter than gold to a seeker
