Píseň: Seek And You Shall Find

Interpret:
Marvin Gaye
Album:
M.P.G.
Oh I used to ask my mother
Would I ever find true love?
She would tell me, true love is hard to find


So I traveled on
Everyone I came upon
I would stop and ask
They would tell me
True love is hard to find
That's what they would say
The years that passed
I'm all alone
No longer do I ask
I just place my faith
In five little words
From way back in my past
My mama said


Seek and you shall find
That's what mama said
Seek and you shall find


Sometimes I get so lonely
It seems useless to groan
But then I remember
Somewhere true love has waited there
But I'll keep on holding on
Keep on keeping on
But I know that I keep trying
I can lose


Seek and you shall find
That's what my mama said
Seek and you shall find
Help me somebody!
Oooh
Oooh
Oh


There is no happy ending
To this story I'm telling you
But I remember somewhere
True love, I know it's waiting there
I'm going to keep on keeping on
You know that I'm going to keep holding on
Because I now if I keep trying
I can't lose, because there's no denying


Seek and you shall find
That's what mama said
Seek and you shall find


Seek and you shall find
That's what mama said
Seek and you shall find
