Search and Found

I searched and I found

I searched and I found

I searched and I found Jah love, yes

Say, once I was a Christian

You could say a so-called one

Who used to go to church from Sunday to Sunday

I would listen to the preacher

That so-called spiritual teacher

Even though I know he wasn't living the right way

'Cause they was heap of blessing in the hierarchy

Straight from Archbishop Town

Sister Thomas never liked Sister Williams

And them never check for Deacon Brown

A lot of watching and murmuring

Who wear the most expensive gown

So I left the church, went on a search

Where true love could be found, hey

Rastafari saved my soul, I'm telling you

Haile Selassie made me whole, whole, whole, whole

Rastafari saved my soul, I'm telling you, yes

'Cause in him Christ I behold, hey

And so that's when the search began

I tried to find the Higher One

I had to free myself from Babylon illusion

I know that he is more than flesh

But still he had to manifest

All I had to do was find the right direction, well, yeah

'Cause Rastafari saved my soul, I'm telling you

Haile Selassie made me whole, whole, whole, whole

Rastafari saved my soul, I'm telling you, yes

'Cause in him Christ I behold, hey

I don't have to search no more

I found what I've been looking for

Yes, I saw the God in man

And it made me overstand

That if I live a righteous life

And if I do good things and right

I will reach to Mount Zion

Be among the chosen one, hey, woah

Say, Rastafari saved my soul, I'm telling you straight up

King Selassie made me whole, whole, whole, whole

Say, Rastafari saved my soul, I'm telling you, yes

'Cause in him Christ I behold, hey

I don't have to search no more

I found what I've been looking for

I don't have to search no more, no
