If you have not been

Able to find

The strength and the courage

To stand up and fight

Travel no further

Look no beyond

Seek no assistance

Take no advice

Expect the worst

Stop looking around

Look deep inside

And you will find

That the worst

Will never happen to you.

 

The Search

Just when the prophets were good to be good to be

Telling the good from the good

Next in the line came the teachers, the preachers

Of Morals, Law and Order

I was looking for somebody new

Who could tell me the truth from the truth

Well then, all the while I wished somebody knew

I was looking for somebody new.

 

Down through the years I have seen many people

And I've heard them say many things

Each time I made a small mistake or so

Well, I didn't know whom to believe

I was looking for somebody new

Who could tell me the truth from the truth

Well then, all the while I wished somebody knew

I was looking for somebody new.

 

And then I tried to rely on books

I didn't know which one to, which one not to

In my confusion I thought I might as well

Heed all, reject everything too

I was looking for somebody new

Who could tell me the truth from the truth

Well then, all the while I never thought of myself

I was looking for somebody new.
