The Answer

Through the tears in my eyes
I see a mother grieving
Her only son was shot down by one
Whose job is to serve and protect
So much heartache and pain
So many people hurting
Peaceful protests and civil unrest
And things you would never expect

What am I to do / what are we to say
How hard can it be for you and me
To show a little empathy
What they say is true / love will save the day
We don’t have to agree on everything
But can’t we see that love is what we need

For every problem that the world may face
Regardless of the time or place
For every member of the human race
Love is the answer (love is the answer)
No matter how the situation seems
Still there are possibilities
For realizing all our hopes and dreams
Love is the answer (love is the answer)

Only love is the way
The way to end the hatred
Discrimination and resegregation
We must unite to defeat
Got to change how we live
We’ve got to work together
Speak up for others, help one another
And value each person we meet

Sometimes it’s hard to see the world
From someone else’s point of view
But when we love each other
That’s the thing we try to do
Sometimes it’s hard to understand
Why people feel the way they feel
But it’s through love
That our broken lives will be healed

For every problem that the world may face
Regardless of the time or place
For every member of the human race
Love is the answer (love is the answer)
No matter how the situation seems
Still there are possibilities
For realizing all our hopes and dreams
Love is the answer (love is the answer)
