Love Is The Only Answer Songtext

I'm a man of many names
I'm a rebel and a teacher
I am no-one just the same

If I give away the answers, you have questions put on hold
But I didn't see the weakness in your soul

Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback

I've been travellin' every roadside
I been sailin' every sea
I been circlin' like in orbit
'Round that cosmic Christmas tree

You think science is a fact, but it's just a childish game
And they never saw the greatness of a game
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for

Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback

Saw the craziness begin on a cold race straight to Hell
There ten more hours ago, we just waitin' for the bell
Not much time for small talk now, besides to Heaven and the nail
Bringing out the muscles for the shadows never fail

Where did all the goodness go?
I feel alone
Suddenly they're just crawling out like from under a stone

Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
No, Jack

Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole
It's like the world just collapsed into space
If you look for a trace of redemption
You're not likely to find in this place

I've always looked for good in everyone
I've seen so many places under the sun
Now, then they ought'a let me down
It's just you and me and time
I'm a king who lost his crown
I bid you bread and wine

I always hoped that love was in your eyes
Now I sacrifice to find out if I was right
Now, then they ought'a let me down
It's just you and me and time
I'm a king who lost his crown
I bid you bread and wine

Where did all the goodness, where did all love go?
Where is all the kindness?
Cannot find a home
First you bring me up and then you break me down
I don't want your money, I just want your time

World is getting older now
World is getting colder now
Eagle's getting bigger
This playground for the wicked

No-one's really listenin'
No room for the reasonin'
The cash machine just opened up it's drawers
So now it's diggin' in

Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole
It's like the world just collapsed into space
If you look for a trace of redemption
You're not likely to find in this place

Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole
It's like the world just collapsed into space
If you look for a trace of redemption
You're not likely to find in this place

I was here in the beginning
I will be the last to leave
You've been told so many times before
That the truth will set you free

But still you fabricate your dreams
On greed and lust and fame
Bring shame upon your name
It's so damn hard to elevate

If I speak to you with clarity
And you read me back alright
So that words may go like chefs of light
Into the darkest night

There's no way out of here
There's no way out of here

There's no way out of here

I was here in the beginning
I will be the last to leave
And I'm movin' through the ages
With the comfort of Godspeed

There is no such thing as perfect
So I might apologise
That I didn't see the darkness in your eyes

Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback

Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
