LYRICS:

There’s so much more than just you and me
Together we are a family
There’s no limit to what we can be
The future’s ours to make right

We need to learn to respect now
‘Cause that’s the way we connect now
No matter which dialect now
Let’s lift our voices and shine a light

You know, you know, you know
We got to shout it out
You know, you know, you know
This is the best time
You know, you know, you know
We can’t have any doubt
We got to let ‘em know

CHORUS:
Love is the answer
Love is our only reason for living
Love is the answer
We’ve only just begun

Love is the answer
Love is for taking and for giving
This is our only life
And we must live as one.

The situation is crystal clear
We cannot let the hope disappear
Our hearts are open, we just need to hear
The message starting to rise

We need to love our fellow man
Get the word out any way we can
No war on Earth’s any stronger than
The music that we harmonize to

You know, you know, you know
We got to shout it out
You know, you know, you know
This is the best time
You know, you know, you know
We can’t have any doubt
We got to let ‘em know

CHORUS:
Love is the answer
Love is our only reason for living
Love is the answer
We’ve only just begun

Love is the answer
Love is for taking and for giving
This is our only life
And we must live as one.

BRIDGE
It takes one heart at a time
And it all starts with mine
If we stand together
We can make the whole world shine!

CHORUS: (key change!)
Love is the answer
Love is our only reason for living
Love is the answer
We’ve only just begun

Love is the answer
Love is for taking and for giving
This is our only life
And we must live as one.

Love is the answer
Love is our only reason for living
Love is the answer
We’ve only just begun

Love is the answer
Love is for taking and for giving
This is our only life
And we must live as one.
We must live as one.
We must live as one.
Love is the answer!
