Love Is the Answer
Bob Sinclar/Cerrone/Liquid People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 is no easy way around it
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
The song Love Is the Answer by Bob Sinclar/Cerrone/Liquid People is a hopeful call to love one another, as the title suggests. Throughout the song, the lyricist expresses a feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction with life as it is. The first verse describes a desire to leave one's current situation in search of something better. The second verse reflects on the transience and loneliness of life, with people walking past each other without connection or recognition. The chorus, however, offers a solution to these problems: love. The light of the world, which can be interpreted as either the sun or a metaphor for love, should shine on everyone to set them free from their struggles.
The song also acknowledges the uncertainty and anxiety that come with life, asking whether we are really alive or whether we're on a dying planet. But it offers a way forward: asking the man in your heart for answers and, again, loving one another. The song places an emphasis on community and compassion for others, as a way of achieving a better life.
Overall, Love Is the Answer offers a message of hope in uncertain times, advocating for a community built on love and kindness.

Name your price
Tell me what you want in exchange
A ticket to paradise
Anything that will transport me to my happy place
I can't stay here any more
I am tired of being stuck in this situation
And I've looked high and low
I have searched everywhere
I've been from shore to shore to shore
I have traveled to many places
If there's a short cut I'd have found it
I have tried to find an easier way but there isn't one
But there is no easy way around it
I have to face the challenge head on
Light of the world, shine on me
I am asking for guidance
Love is the answer
Love can solve any problem
Shine on us all
Bring us all together
Set us free
Release us from our troubles
Who knows why
Nobody knows the reason
Someday we all must die
Death is inevitable for everyone
We're all homeless boys and girls
We are lost and searching for a place to belong
And we are never heard
Our voices are often silenced
It's such a lonely world
The world can be a very isolating place
People turn their heads
People ignore the problems of others
And walk on by
They keep going instead of helping
Tell me is it worth just another try
Is it worth the effort to keep trying?
Are we alive
Do we really feel alive?
Or just a dying planet
Is our world getting worse?
What are the chances
What are the odds?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers
Look within yourself for the answers
And when you feel afraid
When you're scared
Love one another
Show compassion to others
When you've lost your way
When you're feeling lost
And when you're all alone
When you have nobody to turn to
And when you're far from home
When you're in an unfamiliar place
And when you're down and out
When you're at your lowest point
And when your hopes run out
When you've lost all hope
And when you need a friend
When you need someone to lean on
We got to love one another
Love is the key to getting through life's toughest moments
