I've turned the sound up loud
Set the lights aglow
Looking high and low
for the words I hope
Searching, searching for the perfect poem

Removed all of the locks
Off every single box
That in my life I've tried
my best to open up
Searching, searching for the perfect poem

I've rounded corners here
Taken flights of stairs
From this point of want
to who knows where
Searching, searching for the perfect poem

I've tossed the coin and caught
My lucky share or not
When it rains it pours
flooding my life's lot
Searching, searching for the perfect poem

You can shake your head
At the daily circumstance
Giving into whim
with another chance
Searching, searching for the perfect poem

...searching for the perfect poem
