Ally McBeal Theme Song Lyrics:

Title: "I've Been Searching My Soul"

By: "Vonda Shepard"

I've been down this road,
Walking the line that's painted by pride,
And i have made mistakes in my life that i just can't hide.

But I believe I'm ready,
For what love has to bring,
I've got myself together,
Now i'm ready to sing.

I've been searching my soul tonight.
I know there's so much more to life.
Now I know I can shine a light,
to find my way back home.

Baby.
Yeah.
Oh Yeah.
