Ray Thomas, Lyrics:

Keep on searching.

Well I've always been a dreamer
And I sometimes play the fool
But when the lights go down
And I hear the crowd then I'm cool

Then I sing my song of freedom
And I sing my songs of love
But there's nothing changed
'Cause I'm still the same as I was

You gotta keep on keep on searching
You gotta keep on searching
And I believe I've found the way
Along the road along the road of freedom
You gotta keep on trying to belong
Come sing the song be strong

I sometimes think that the world's gonna pass me by
In my mind I ask myself the reason why
And before I know the answer's come and gone
And before I know the music's turned me on

You gotta keep on keep on searching
You gotta keep on searching
And I believe I've found the way
Along the road along the road of freedom
You gotta keep on trying to belong
Come sing the song be strong

Well I sometimes stop and wonder
Just what we are doing now
Life has got to change
Maybe we can arrange it somehow

But then I've always been a dreamer
And I sometimes play the fool
But when the lights go down
And I hear the crowd then I'm cool

You gotta keep on keep on searching
You gotta keep on searching
And I believe I've found the way
Along the road along the road of freedom
You gotta keep on trying to belong
Come sing the song be strong

We gotta keep on searching
We gotta find a way
Along the road of freedom
We'll be there someday
We gotta keep on searching
We gonna find a way
Along the road of freedom
We'll be there someday
