Lighter

(Verse 1) Searching high and low, in the dark of night, For that flicker of flame, to bring me light. Pockets turned inside out, feeling blind, But little did I know, it's been here all the time. (Chorus) I've been searching for my lighter, But it's been in my hand all along. Lost in the darkness, couldn't see it brighter, Now I see, I've been so wrong. (Verse 2) I retraced my steps, through the shadows cast, Trying to find what I thought was lost. But then a glimmer caught my eye, And there it was, right in my palm, oh my! (Chorus) I've been searching for my lighter, But it's been in my hand all along. Lost in the darkness, couldn't see it brighter, Now I see, I've been so wrong. (Bridge) Funny how we can overlook what's near, Caught up in worry, consumed by fear. But sometimes the answer's right in our grasp, If only we'd slow down, and take a grasp. (Verse 3) So now I light it up, with a smile so wide, No more searching, no need to hide. For in the journey, I found a truth, Sometimes what we seek, is right under our roof. (Chorus) I've been searching for my lighter, But it's been in my hand all along. Lost in the darkness, couldn't see it brighter, Now I see, I've been so wrong. (Outro) So let this be a lesson, for you I've been searching for my lighter, But it's been in my hand all along. Lost in the darkness, couldn't see it brighter, Now I see, I've been so wrong. Lost in the darkness, couldn't see it brighter, Now I see, I've been so wrong.
