American Spirit (Stripped)

I won't stop searching till I find it

Lost like memories when I was a kid

Is it in crystals or a sound bath

Or the things I dreamt up but I never did

I've looked all over, seeing double, do I need a single eye

I need a mail order guru like those mail order brides

They say it's all in meditation

But when I sit still, I'm afraid what I'll find

Am I gonna get better

Did I drink the Kool-Aid

Am I looking in all the wrong places

Is my body just space

I got that American Spirit

It's searching for what I can't find

I'm looking in holy rivers

I pray that she'll show me a sign

If I let go of holding tightly

Will I see Jesus in a stranger tonight?

The devil hides in Coca Cola

But if I'm high will I be more qualified?

Cause in my Elvis Presley record I found the light

And my books say I'm a bad ass for just $12.99

Maybe I'll trace it to my family

But maybe some things, should be buried alive

I got that American Spirit

It's searching for what I can't find

I'm looking in holy rivers

I pray that she'll show me a sign

I'm giving up

I surrender to you

I'm giving up

I'm giving up

I surrender to you

I'm giving up

I got that American Spirit

I got that American Spirit

It's searching for what I can't find

I'm looking in holy rivers

I pray that she'll show me a sign

I'm giving up

I surrender to you

I'm giving up

I'm giving up

I surrender to you

I'm giving up
