Story Behind The Song
So much effort we apply to pursuing things that are unattainable or temporary. So little effort we apply to seeking that which is of the highest value and will last forever.

Lyrics
No one ever claimed the gold of the rainbow
No one ever drank the fountain of youth
No one ever found the ancient Holy Grail
Though a thousand have pursued
All we have are tales of Gulliver's Travels
Genies from a lamp just never appear
Everybody runs to hear a fairy tale
Though they know it isn't real
But Jesus says:
"Seek and you will find"
Jesus says: "Knock and it will be opened.
For he that comes to me will never be turned away, oh no."
Jesus says:
"Seek and you will find"
Jesus says: "Knock and it will be opened.
For he that comes to me will never be turned away, he'll never be turned away."
No one ever changed a yesterday's moment
No one ever found a way to forget
Everybody feels the weight of things they've done
And the way things should have been
All we have are dreams of better tomorrows
For something deep inside that changes the world
Everybody wants to find that missing piece
But it seems it's lost for good
Then Jesus says:
"Seek and you will find"
Jesus says: "Knock and it will be opened.
For he that comes to me will never be turned away, oh no."
Jesus says:
"Seek and you will find"
Jesus says: "Knock and it will be opened.
For he that comes to me will never be turned away, you'll never be turned away."
