The Persistent Quest

The Persistent Quest

I've been searching and searching
 for something I had lost
 And I vowed to keep on looking,
 regardless of the cost

 I'd climb the highest mountain,
 And I'd sail the ocean blue
 I would roam all through the
 forest, if my dream would just come true

 I'd walk out by the wayside, and I'd look both up and down
 Thinking if perhaps I'd listen, I might even hear a sound
 I thought that I would give up
 and go on the way things are,

 Or keep forever searching,
 whether it be near or far
 Finally something struck me like
 a bolt out of the blue

 I found what I was searching for,
 and that something was you
