lyrics

i was born in '85 and raised in a market town
from a young i was shown the path i had to walk
but i never really felt that i beheld the truth
so now i'm looking for something greater than it all

although it wasn't until 22 i started to have my doubts
just to what this game of life was really all about
sure i knew love had it's say but so much didn't make sense
so now i'm looking for something greater than it all

maybe it was the poetry and the songs i heard
that made me want to escape, free myself from the heard
everyone seems stuck in a place, living a dull routine
so now i'm looking for something greater than it all

as soon as my mind was opened my dreams grew and grew
i heard tales of mystic lands, of ramblers and the truth
of how this world is run by men with money and suits
so now i'm looking for something greater than it all

why would anyone want to serve the corporate machine
i have got all i need in my bohemian dream
i see no comfort freedom that's wrapped in a lie
so now i'm looking for something greater than it all

and i see the sun set into the ocean wide
i carry on my rambling under starry skies
and when the new day dawns i'll play a song of my quest
of how i'm looking for something greater than it all
