Love Is the Answer

About Love Is the Answer

"Love Is the Answer" is a song written by Todd Rundgren for his band Utopia. It is the closing track on their 1977 album Oops! Wrong Planet. Although Utopia's version did not reach the music charts, a cover version by England Dan & John Ford Coley reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1978 and spent two weeks atop the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. John Ford Coley was quoted as saying: "Of all the songs we released as singles, that was my favorite. The song first of all had a classical base, and the middle had a gospel section which I loved. "The song has been covered several times by Christian artists. Sheila Walsh recorded it in 1988 for her album Say So, and performed it on her very first The 700 Club appearance as co-hostess. Bill Cantos and Justo Almario covered it in 1995 for the album Who Are You. Cindy Morgan covered it in 2000 for her greatest hits album, Best So Far. Bob Carlisle and Bryan Duncan recorded a gospel blues version in 2001. Filipino singer Gary Valenciano also covered the song on his 2001 album, Revive. In 2004, Glen Campbell recorded the song as the title track of the album Love Is the Answer: 24 Songs of Faith, Hope and Love. Christian contemporary band Circle of Friends covered it on their 2012 album Chosen & Beloved, pairing it with the old hymn "Tell Me the Story of Jesus". more »

Name your price, I'll take you 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's 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, lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Well, tell me, is it worth just another try?

Light of the world, shine on me, love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free, love is the answer

Tell me, 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
When you're far from home, love one another

When you're down and out, love one another
When your hope's run out, love one another
When you need a friend, love one another
When you're near the end, love, we got to love
We got to love one another

Light of the world, shine on me, love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free, love is the answer
