Searchin'

(album: All Eyez On Me - 2002)

When I hear the children of today
They're questioning the way
The way that they should live
I often wonder
Wonder what to do
To help them make it through
In a world that's gone astray

Open my heart
To see that it's up to me (Searching for)
Searching for the answers to these problems (I'm facing, facing)
I'm always facing things
That are trying me
Testing all the things that I believe

Sometimes I feel so down
And no one here's around, but you
You never left me lonely
And now I see
What a true friend means
And I trust that you will always be here for me
Lord, I give you all

Open my heart
To see that this lies with me (Oh, whoa)
Searching for the answers to these problems
(Lord, I need you, lord I need you)
I'm always facing things
That are trying me (I'm standing right here)
Testing all the things that I believe

Now I'm here before you (Now I'm here before you)
So tell me what to do (Guess I will open my heart)
My heart to you (To see that this lies with me)
Here I am
Searching for all the answers to my problems
(Searching for all the answers to my problems)
Lord, I'm facing things (I'm always facing things)
Can you help me?
You're trying all that I need (You're trying all that I need)
(Testing all the things that I believe) The things I believe
Open my heart to see (Oh lord, no no no no)
That it starts with me (Here I am, here I am)
Searching for all the answers to my problems
(I'm searching for it, searching for)
I'm always facing things (Me me me me)
You're trying all that I need (You're trying all that I need)
Testing all the things that I believe
(Testing all the things that I believe)

Open my heart (Heart, heart)
That it starts with me (no, no, here I am)
Searching for the answers to these problems
(Lacking all the understanding of things I can't see)
I'm always facing things (Ooh)
That are trying me (Ooh, that's trying me)
Testing all the things that I believe (All, all)
Open my heart to see (Can you help me?)
That it starts with me (Lacking all the understanding)
Searching for the answers to these problems
(I'm your child no matter what they say, I'm yours every day)

I'm always facing things (Facing)
That are trying me (Protect me)
Testing all the things that I believe (Oh, oh)
