(Intro — Harmonium, Tabla, Claps) [Harmonium drone. Tabla enters. Claps. Chorus hums underneath.] (Verse 1 — Call and Response) I am searching! I am searching! Where are you? Here! Here! Search within! I searched in temples! I searched in mosques! I searched in churches! You were nowhere! Within! Within! Search inside yourself! I read the scriptures! I chanted the mantras! I fasted and prayed! Still nothing! Within! Within! Search inside yourself! (Tabla pounds. Harmonium swells.) (Chorus — All Together) Search! Search! Search! Search! Everywhere I look Search! Search! Search! Search! But I never look inside Search! Search! Search! Search! Running out of time Search! Search! Search! Search! The answer's not outside (Claps intensify.) (Verse 2) I climbed the mountains! I crossed the oceans! I asked the wise ones! I begged the heavens! Within! Within! Search inside yourself! I gave my offerings! I sang my praises! I waited for a sign! Still nothing! Within! Within! Search inside yourself! (Tabla. Harmonium. Claps.) (Bridge — Quieter, Honest) Maybe I've been running From the one thing I need to face Maybe I've been looking In every wrong place Maybe the answer Isn't a voice from the sky Maybe the answer Is the one asking why (Tabla softens. Harmonium holds.) Maybe the search itself Is the thing I'm supposed to find Maybe the question Is the door I'm supposed to open wide (Claps return. Building.) (Outro) Silence... The silence after searching everywhere And finding nothing. (Long silence.)
