LOVE IS THE ANSWER
Todd Rundgren - 1977

Name your price,
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here anymore

And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a shortcut, I'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it.

CHORUS
Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer.

Who knows why,
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls

And we are never heard,
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world.
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try ?

CHORUS

Tell me, are we alive or a just a dying planet ?
What are the chances ?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers.

And when you feel afraid, love one another
When you've lost your way, love one another
And when you're all alone, love one another
And when you're far from home, love one another.
And when you're down and out, love one another
And when your hope runs out, love one another
And when you need a friend, love one another
And when you're near the end, love
We got to love
We got to love one another.

Add to My:

Love, love is the answer, todd rungren

This is my favorite song! I have these same words on my wall. Beautiful song to have repeating in your mind! Also another one I love is by Anne Murray, “Little Good News”

I rolled out this morning
Kids had the mornin’ news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin’ ’bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawkin’ ’bout the bad economy
It’s gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy

There’s a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story’s one more than I can stand
Just once how I’d like to see the headline say
“Not much to print today, can’t find nothin’ bad to say”, because

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD’ed, nobody burned a single buildin’ down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today

I’ll come home this evenin’
I’ll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me

Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD’ed, nobody burned a single buildin’ down
FADE
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today
