Music: Rodney Jerkins and Fred Jerkins III
Chorus:
Searching
(repeat 15x)
Do you hear what I hear
Can you see what I see
That my heart is crying out
And yet we have no unity
My friends always ask me
Mary? tell me why do you weep
Cause I'm trying to get over
All the negativity
That's why I'm searching
Chorus
We are living in a world
Of who has what it moved into
But I'm telling you my friend
The answer's right in front of you
We are searching for a peace
A piece of mind is what we need
We are searching for the love
That comes with the unity
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (everyday)
Oh ooh oh (it rains)
Oh
Oh ooh oh (can you stand the pain?)
Oh ooh oh (why do we live the way we choose to live?)
Oh ooh oh
Oh (I'm telling you my brother that we have to live)
Chorus
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (Why you waste your searching)
Oh ooh oh (When the answer's right in front of you)
Oh
Oh ooh oh (I'm telling you)
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh (you better look straight a head of your path)
Oh (Because the love is always there)
Chorus fade
(Sing through chorus)
I don't wanna fuss n' fight
I just wanna make it right
What can we do to be strong
When we try to get along
i'm not trying to preach to you
But I am still searching too, yeah
Me and you can do it, oh
I don't never wanna be stressed out
I just wanna live my life
The way I feel that I should live
Cause I wanna be happy, happy
What about you and me
