Searching for a Song

Morning sun or the morning grey
Workers looking for honest pay
Coast to coast along the way
Searching for a song

Hockey moms in their new Ray-Bans
Counting days to vacation plans
Chauffeur kids in their minivans
Searching for a song

Lawyers study books of law
In courtrooms sharpen their teeth and claws
In their minds they can hear applause
Searching for a song

Detectives solving a mystery
Artists mired in artistry
Paintings we may never see
Searching for a song

Young blood entering politics
Neighbors earning by turning tricks
Both are looking for their next fix
Searching for a song

You and I, we're the lazy bones
Roadies pack up the microphones
We go off into great unknowns
Searching for a song

You and I with our greatest fear
Work on something for years and years
A thoughtful tune that no one hears
Just another song
So they can sing along

A song, an anthem, a lullaby
Searching 'til the day we die
All in hope for a reason why
