The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era: Songs That Changed the World--"Love is the Answer" by England Dan & John Ford Coley

This is kind of the 1970's version of "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles.  Written by Todd Rundgren, it too delivers the timeless message that we somehow have to put aside our individualistic egos and get along with each other for everything to work.  
"Love is the Answer"
by England Dan & John Ford Coley




Written by Todd Rundgren


Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a short cut I'd have found it

But there ain't no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me

Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely world
People turn their heads
And walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try

Are we alive
Or just a dying planet
What are the chances
Ask the man in your heart for the answers
And when you feel afraid

Love one another
When you've lost your way
Love one another
And when you're all alone
Love one another
And when you're far from home
Love one another
And when you're down and out
Love one another
And when your hopes run out
Love one another
And when you need a friend
Love one another
We got to love one another
