CARMEN SOUZA | THE SILVER MESSENGERS | Soul Searching (Horace Silver)

What is the meaning of Life
What does my purpose involve
Do we live but to die
or can a puzzle be solved
What have I done up to now
Could it be all done in vain
If my life were to end what would humanity gain

I'm soul searching
of the real true values
My mind's workin'
so it's up to me to choose

I found the meaning of life
I found my purpose ahead
Just when we think it's through, that's when it really began
I've taken hold of myself
I must assume full command
If I am to reach my goal
I must construct a new plan

I'm soul searching
of the real true values
My mind's workin'
so it's up to me to choose

I'll make a study of life
I'll get the books out of the shelf
I'm a spoke out my mind so I can study myself
What brings the greatest of joy
What makes me happy my friend
When I can find a way when I can help other men

I'm soul searching
of the real true values
My mind is workin'
so it's up to me to choose

Mta Busca ( I search)
