[Verse 1]
Wandering afar and seeking (Seeking)
One time you're looking for I-don't-know
But, then you find it
Please, won't you tell me so, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Now every young fool
(Young fool)
Throughout the land
(Throughout the land)
Looking for someone who understands (Someone)
While all the old ones
(All the old ones)
They discredit this
(They discredit this)
Talkin' 'bout the good old days
That they miss

[Chorus]
See how blind you've been (See how blind you've been)
Sow how the world you livin' in is changing (Changing)
Lord have mercy
(Changing)
All around us is greed and hate
We better wake up or soon it will be too late
[Verse 3]
I guess what they want
(I guess what they want)
Is some peace of mind
But, I know it's very hard to find (Very hard)
You can't borrow it
(No, you can't borrow it)
From strength
So mine got to come from within

[Verse 4]
We oughta stop and think (We oughta stop and think)
The signs show the brink of destruction (Signs show the brink)
(Destruction)
Now, everybody stop to take heed
Or they'll lose someone they really, really needed

[Verse 5]
See how confused you are
Everyone near and far, is seeking
(Seeking)
While I was looking for I-don't-know
When you find it, please tell me, tell me
Won't you tell me

[Chorus]
See how blind you've been (See how blind you've been)
Sow how the world you livin' in is changing (See how the world you live in is changing)
Lord, have mercy
(Changing)
All around us is greed and hate
We better wake up or soon it will be too late
