I have tried looking for it in the Church
But just lost it at the touch of the latch
Thought It's fish, by the hook I'd have a catch
Turns out It's an Eagle far from about to perch
I once found It's precious unclear trail
Which trail led me specifically nowhere
One moment it was, the other it wasn't here
I went out clubbing hoping to find my luck
And that proved love isn't a walk in the park
I scratched my mind hoping to get a reply
But in such affairs even the mind can't tell a lie
I thought with tomorrows come a new dawn
Each that came by did but leave me on my own
I searched in every path, every road,every village and town
Wandering, everyone took me for a clown
I explored the young and the old, the real and the tales told
But sunk deep in despair with nothing concrete to hold
I searched in the cracks through the broken walls
Trust me I did stretch my courage, had the *****
I tried to find it, like they said its easier using wallets
I hunted it down, with spears and mallets, guns and bullets
I looked everywhere, paying attention to the different faces
It was neither on my mind nor the streets I tore apart
Even prayer couldn’t bring it on miracle wings
I tried all options there are for we the beings
I didn't know the search starts within the Heart
That's why I was searching for love in the wrong places
