Once I was happy Once I was alive With the spirit of life's beauty And a limit of the sky Watching lives get taken Made something in me die Every day is a struggle for my spirit to survive Somehow I lost the will to be 'Cause my soul simply crept outside of me Somebody tell me where'd it go Searchin' for my soul Thought it was stayin' but now I don't Searchin' for my soul It left an empty space you know Searchin' for my soul If you should see it send it home I tried to be strong but my strength is skin deep If happiness is comin' I hope I have the vision to see I'm so heavy-hearted I've got billy's blues Lately I can't even bring myself to watch the news Oh I feel the weight of all the world Is resting on the shoulders of this girl Chorus Every time one of us goes down It's like I'm looking at my own blood on the ground Seems like everybody's lost their minds And I just might be the next one in line Chorus searchin' for my soul searchin' for, searchin' for, searchin' for my soul repeat
