Lyrics
THE ONLY ANSWER
We're living in a world where everyone can see,
CNN on TV.
The farmer in the outback and the CEO,
Both watch the show they're in the know.
So why are we living in the past,
Afraid to take a chance on each other.
When will we recognize the truth?
It's in the daily news we are all neighbors.
We're sliding down the bell curve on the way to ruin,
Two world wars what are we doing?
If history can teach us all anything,
The voice of reason must always ring.
So why are we living in the past,
Afraid to take a chance on each other.
When will we recognize the truth?
It's in the daily news we are all neighbors.
Heart to heart, hand in hand.
Side by side we all stand.
The circle grows when everybody knows,
Love is the only answer.
So often when the darkness of this world rains down,
And hope seems lost and fear surrounds,
We forget to remember love and life,
Are husband and wife, no day without night.
So why are we living in the past,
Afraid to take a chance on each other.
When will we recognize the truth?
It's in the daily news we are all neighbors.
Heart to heart, hand in hand.
Side by side we all stand.
The circle grows when everybody knows,
Love is the only answer.
Love is the only answer.
