I asked the wiseman one sunny day
Can you help me find my way
You’re so much older and wiser too
Would you help me mr wiseman
I’m feelin’ blue
Oh I’m not satisfied

He said you’re not doin too bad, not bad at all
You’re just trying to walk son before you can crawl
You got stacks of money to sky up above
Now all you need is to find you a love

He sent me searchin’ to find my love
He sent me searchin’ to the Lord up above
He sent me searchin’ just to find the mornin’ dove
And she’ll tell you where to find your love
Oh mr wiseman I need to find my love

You can have anything in this god’s world
But you won’t be happy son ’til you find a girl
Now you can be happy boy if you try
Find a woman boy, you’ll be satisfied

He sent me searchin’ to find my love
He sent me searchin’ , I said Lord up above
He sent me searchin’ just to find the mornin’ dove
And she’ll tell you where to find your love

He sent me searchin’ to find my love
He sent me searchin’ , I said Lord up above
He sent me searchin’ just to find the mornin’ dove
And she’ll tell you where to find your love

Oh Lord, he sent me searchin’

You can understand the lyrics to Searching if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Searching" means the words set to the music of Searching, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Searching and the lyrics to Searching are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd who came here looking just for the lyrics to Searching, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
