twenty years ago i would have told you that the world was round good and sound freedom bound the future was secure now i m not so sure it seems like gravity has been reversed and there it was nothing works and everybody hurts yes there s a trail of tears down through the years of broken hearts it s still so hard to let the sunshine in love s the answer no matter what i swear love is still the answer just like it always was 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 and now it s down to us we either shine the light or darkness rules our children lose we re free to choose a fate to find our way beyond this veil of tears the sky is clear and every star stands for a heart to let the sunshine in love s the answer no matter what i swear love is still the answer just like it always was love s the answer no matter what i swear love is still the answer just like it always was love s the answer no matter what i swear love is still the answer just like it always was love s the answer no matter what i swear love is still the answer
