[Verse 1]
Twenty years ago
I would have told you that the world was round
Good and sound
Freedom bound
Our future was secure
Now I'm not so sure
It seems like gravity has been reversed
And getting worse
Nothing works
And everybody hurts

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, there's a trail of tears
Down through the years
Of broken hearts
It's still so hard
To let the sun shine in

[Chorus]
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
It's still the answer
Just like it always was

[Verse 2]
Such a simple truth
Love never changes
Or betrays a friend
From the start
Love was part
Of some fantastic plan
Some brotherhood of man
Now it's down to us, ooh yeah
We either shine the light
Or darkness rules
Our children lose, oh yeah
We're free to choose our fate
To find our way
[Pre-Chorus]
Beyond this veil of tears
The sky is clear
And every star
Stands for a heart
That let’s the sun shine in

[Chorus]
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
It's still the answer
Just like it always was

[Outro]
Love is still the answer
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know
Just like it always was
I know that love is
You know it's still the answer, oh oh oh
I know, like it always was
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Love is the answer
I know, like it always was
