lyrics
Love is the Answer
(Stevenson, Eden)
I was living in a cell with no mind of my own.
I was thinking yeah of a life alone.
But no one there was on my side to save me
And there seemed to be no end to loneliness.
In a singular life with no purpose at all.
There were faces laughing at every turn.
In a downward plunge toward hatred & fear
and my body was starting to burn.
Oh then came the sun! Oh then came the light!
And then came my love! Then came my life!
Then came love on silver waves.
Then came the cherished velvet dancer.
And now I find with all my searching:
you know, love is the only answer.
So when the sun is cold and the future looks dark,
you know, love’s been forgotten.
And brother if you can’t believe in yourself,
you better find someone who will, yeah.
Oh how can I tell you how she makes make me feel free?
How can I tell you: Love’s inside of me?
And now with love secure in my mind,
yeah I can share it with all I meet.
Ah but it took your touch to make me see:
you know, love is the only answer.
