WHO SEEKS, FINDS

Lyrics

🎵 WHO SEEKS, FINDS Style: Afro-R&B / Nigerian conscious Rap Duration: ~3:15 Tempo: ~90 BPM Vocals: warm, deep, emotional Nigerian English accent; no high notes Instruments: acoustic guitar, piano, African percussion, warm bass, violin and gospel-style choir Language: English with selected French lines INTRO — Piano + acoustic guitar They say… who seeks, finds. So what are we looking for? What are we preparing for? What are we building for tomorrow? Cherchons l’amour… Cherchons la paix… Cherchons la vie. ⸻ VERSE 1 Researchers spent their whole lives Looking for answers for our lives, Looking for ways to heal our pain, Looking for sunshine after the rain. They searched for ways to make us live better, To bring us closer together, To make the impossible possible, To make our world a little more beautiful. Because if you keep searching, One day you may find the way. But let me ask one question: What are we really looking for? ⸻ PRE-CHORUS If I search for a door, I will look for a way through. If I search for the light, I will follow where it leads me to. So why search for war When we say we want peace? Si nous voulons la paix, Pourquoi préparer la guerre ? ⸻ CHORUS — Big harmonies Who seeks, finds, So let’s look for love. Who seeks, finds, So let’s look for peace. If what we seek Can find its way to us, Why look for war When we wanna save tomorrow? Let’s look for life, Let’s look for love, Let’s look for peace. We have the power to choose What we want to find. ⸻ VERSE 2 — Melodic conscious rap If you prepare for war, You will find reasons for war. You build the weapons, You count the soldiers, You feed the fear, Then you call it protection. But tell me something… If you don’t want war, Why spend your life preparing for it? If peace is what you really want, Why don’t you prepare for peace? Prepare the schools, Prepare the bridges, Prepare the conversations, Prepare the solutions. If you’re looking for love, Learn to listen. If you’re looking for peace, Learn to understand. Before you judge another man, Try to understand where he stands. ⸻ PRE-CHORUS It’s not complicated, It’s almost like a simple equation: What we feed will grow. What we build will remain. So tell me… What are we feeding today? ⸻ CHORUS Who seeks, finds, So let’s look for love. Who seeks, finds, So let’s look for peace. If what we seek Can find its way to us, Why look for war When we wanna save tomorrow? Cherchons l’amour, Cherchons la paix, Cherchons la vie. It’s our choice What we want to find. ⸻ BRIDGE — Violin + choir If you look for hatred, You will find an enemy. If you look for fear, You will find a threat. If you look for war, You will find a battle. But if you look for love… You will find a heart. If you look for peace… You will find a hand. If you look for life… You will find tomorrow. ⸻ FINAL CHORUS — Full choir Who seeks, finds, So let’s look for love. Who seeks, finds, So let’s look for peace. We have spent so much time Trying to conquer the world… Let’s spend some time Trying not to destroy it. Let’s look for life, Let’s look for love, Let’s look for peace. Cherchons l’amour… Cherchons la paix… Cherchons la vie… Because what we seek, What we prepare, What we feed… We may one day find. OUTRO — Soft choir Who seeks… finds. So… What are you looking for? Love? Peace? Life? Then start looking there.
