Searchlight Songtext
von Leeroy Stagger

We′re all out here treading water
Looking for a life raft out
But there's something in the ocean
That leads lonely boy to doubt
Well I′ve got so many questions
They all keep me up at night
I am a traveler on this broken highway home
There are people living in these streets
That have nothing to give
There is suffering all round us
People struggling to live
I pray for loving kindness
For to heal a wayward soul
There is nothing more than love And love rules All


Search light Search light
Guide me home tonight
I'm tired and I don't want a fight
I′ve got nothing to give
I′ve been looking for an answer
It's been taking me to task
I′ll always be a searcher in my life

They are fighting for equality
They are fighting for their skin
Some don't have no education
Some they lean on religion
Still they tuck their children in at night
And a kiss upon thier brow
While they dream new existence for themselves

Search light Search light
Guide me home tonight
I′m tired and I don't want a fight
I′ve got nothing to give
You can try to heal a nation
But these wounds are running deep
It's like nothing that we've ever seen before


I′ve been following these highways
Through the heart of civil war
It will always lead to losing
Like it always did before
Like it did in West Virginia
Like it did in Birmingham
We are standing on the brink of some dark shore

Search light Search light
Guide me home tonight
I′m tired and I don't want a fight
I′ve got nothing to give
It's so Goddamn overwhelming
To watch this all go down
I wish for nothing more than peace in my time
I wish for nothing more than peace in my time
