I had been searching for something I couldn't find,

Believe me, I've searched far and wide.

I've searched in the caves, the forest by the sea-side.

Maybe because it was of a very rare kind.

I asked the little birdie yesterday,

Perched on the treetop.

But it just stared at me and flew away, it's wings flop-flop-flop.

And now it is today.

How desperate I am ,

Now to find it.

But there's no trace, not even a bit.

Suddenly, I hear 'WHAM!'

What was that,

I ran here, I ran there.

And then I understood, it came from where.

And what it was at.

It came from within me,

Yes! You've heard it right.

But don't be in a fright.

It's nothing to be scared of, surely it mustn't be.

I had been searching far and wide,

For something that I couldn't find.

I just discovered right there in my mind,

Making me whole.

Yes, it was my soul.
