[Verse 1: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
As my life goes on, I believe
Somehow something's changed
Something deep inside
Ooh, a part of me
There's a strange new light in my eyes
Things I've never known
Changing my life
Changing me
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
I've been searching
So long
To find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning, oh
[Verse 2: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
Now I see myself as I am
Feeling very free
Life is everything
Ooh, it's meant to be
When my tears have come to an end
I will understand
What I left behind
Part of me
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
I've been searching
So long
To find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning, whoa
[Instrumental]
[Outro: All, Peter Cetera]
Searching
Don't you know I'm hell? yeah
For an answer (Oh no, yeah)
To the question
Oh yeah (Hey, yeah)
Who am I? (You gon' tell me, yeah yeah)
Baby
Baby, it's true (Oh yeah)
It's only natural
It's only natural baby, yeah yeah yeah
Good things
In life (Yeah)
Take a long time
Yeah, yeah

‘(I’ve Been) Searchin' So Long' was a song about finding myself. I just had to talk about who I was and what I was feeling at the time. The ‘70’s was a time for soul-searching.
