I've Been Searching (So Long) lyrics

The author, chicago trombonist james pankow, wrote this song in '73/'74 during a time when his generation was 'searching for meaning' during tulmultous times. Became the 'class song' for many graduating classes thereafter for years. Big hit back then, meaning still applies today.

When i was a teenager, i had recently been searching for truth and i was watching a show on tv about this pope and all of a sudden my radio turned on with this song. And i tried to turn it off and it just wouldnt turn off. All of a sudden i felt such warmth and love and i just started weeping and i looked up at my wall and seriously believe or not there were four nail holes where i had previously hung things and they were in the shape of a cross, and it was like a cross was drawn on my wall. What was really weird was right when this song ended the radio turned off. It was then that i remembered that just a few months before i was asking god if he was real to talk me to through the radio. Needless to say, i serve god now. Since that time he has found other ways to talk to me and i have been miraculously healed of a brain tumor, heart attack (god healed my heart and any echo residue of having a heart attack, this is all documented) and broken back.

good things take a long time to prepare but they are worth the wait.
