♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

We are searching for the answer
Searching each and ev'ry spot
We are searching for the answer
To a question we forgot

For the joy is in the searching
Far and wide, and up and down
For the joy is in the searching
For whatever might be found

We are searching for the answer
Searching here and searching there
We are searching for the answer
To a question we don't care

For the joy is in the searching
Far and wide, and up and down
For the joy is in the searching
For whatever might be found
