[Verse 1]
What is the meaning of life?
What does my purpose involve?
Do we live but to die
Or can the puzzle be solved?
What have I done up to now?
Could it be all done in vain?
If my life were to end
What would humanity gain?

[Chorus]
I'm soul searchin'
For the real true values
My mind's workin'
So it's up to me to choose

[Verse 2]
I've found the meaning of life
I've found my purpose therein
Just when we think it's through
That's when it really begins
I've takеn hold of myself
I must assume full command
If I'm to reach my goal
I must construct a nеw plan
[Chorus]
I'm soul searchin'
For the real true values
My mind's workin'
So it's up to me to choose

[Verse 3]
I'll make a study of life
I'll get the books off the shelf
I must open my mind
So I can study myself
What brings the greatest of joy?
What makes me happy, my friend?
When I can find a way
That I might help other men

[Chorus]
I'm soul searchin'
For the real true values
My mind's workin'
So it's up to me to choose
