1995- Love Is The Answer

Wandering Soul -Love Is The Answer

In this magic hour of softening light

The moments in between the day and the night

The instant when all shadows disappear

The distance in between the love and the fear

There's a longing deep within the wandering soul

It's like the half that understands it once was whole

Like the two who only dream of being one

Like the moon whose only light is in the sun

There's a danger in forever looking outside

You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied

And you forget the sound of your own name

And thus begins the suffering and the pain

I wanted an answer, I wanted a way

I wanted to know just what to do and what to say

I wanted a reason, I want to know why

Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside my heart

Deep in my soul

Within each part

And in the whole

There's a promise in the journeys of the mind

You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find

And that someday you'll remember who you are

The seed within a bright and shining star

That's like the flame that lives within a hungering heart

That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark

Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly

Like the river that can't help but meet the sea

In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn

In the space between the silence and the song

Suddenly the mystery is clear

That love is only letting go of fear

Love is the answer and love is the way

Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say

And love is the reason, love is the why

And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside your heart

Deep in your soul

Within each part

And in the whole

Love is the answer and love is the way

Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say

Love is the reason, love is the why

And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
