The Seeker

This song was inspired by my nephew Jeff, who contributed some of the original lyrics while we were living together on a farm outside Orlando, Florida.

I later revisited and rewrote the lyrics, hopefully giving them a bit more depth and polish.

I’m happy with how the AI brought my guitar riff to life – it captures the riff ans feel (sorta) I was going for.

Uriah Heep’s song Steelin’ might also been an inspiration.

Song Lyrics

Do I wanna live
My life all over
Do I wanna live
My life sober
Or do I march on
Like a restless soldier
No love in my heart
Just a weight on my shoulder

CHORUS
I am the seeker
Let me look inside
I am the seeker
I won’t be denied
Searching for answers
Not just what to say
I am the seeker
Let me take you away

If I live for myself
Does it make me stronger
I wanna feel time
Like I’ve lived it longer
But you pull me back
Make me feel younger
Through your eyes I see
My deep burnin hunger (burnin hunger)

CHORUS
I am the seeker
Let me look inside
I am the seeker
I won’t be denied
Searching for answers
Not just what to say
I am the seeker
Let me take you away

Now I’m gonna rise
Like the wind and fire
Try to take it all
Just a little bit higher
Now I’m gonna ride
Earth and the water
Take you to the stars
Make you wonder why (wonder why)

CHORUS
I am the seeker
Let me look inside
I am the seeker
I won’t be denied
Searching for answers
Not just what to say
I am the seeker
Let me take you away

I am the seeker
Let me take you away
I am the seeker
Fade into the gray
I am the seeker
No more words to say
I am the seeker
Let me take you away
