[Intro] [Verse 1] I won’t stop searching ’til 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 [Pre-Chorus] Am I gonna get better? Did I drink the Kool-Aid? Am I looking in all the wrong places? Is  my body just space? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 badass for just $12.99 Maybe I’ll trace it to my family But maybe some things should be buried alive [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] I’m giving up I surrender to you I’m giving up      I’m giving up I surrender to you I’m giving up      [Bridge] Am I gonna get better? Am I gonna get better? [Chorus] 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 [Outro] I got that American Spirit (I surrender to you) It’s searching for what I can’t find I’m looking in holy rivers (I surrender to you) I pray that she’ll show me a sign
