What is the meaning of life? What does my purpose involve?
Do we live but to die, or can the 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 searchin'
For the real truth that I use
My mind's workin'
So it's up to me to choose
I've found the meaning of life
I've found my purpose therein
Just when we think it's through that's when it really begins
I'm taking hold of myself, I must assume full command
If I'm to rеach my goal then I must construct a new plan
I'm soul searchin'
For thе real truth that I use
My mind's workin'
So it's up to me to choose
I'll make a study of life
I'll get the books off the shelves
I must open 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 that I might help other men
I'm soul searchin'
Of a real truth that I use
My mind's workin'
So it's up to me to choose
