Harder
Garnet Silk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 is 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Garnet Silk's song "Love is the Answer" are a powerful message of hope and love for humanity. The song begins with the singer desperately seeking a way out of their current situation. They have searched high and low for an easy solution, but have found no easy way around it. This is a universal feeling we all experience at some point in our lives, when we feel stuck and don't know how to move forward.


The chorus provides the answer: "Love is the answer." The light of the world, which represents hope and love, is called upon to shine down and set us free. The second verse reminds us that we are all homeless boys and girls, wandering in this lonely world. We're often ignored or forgotten by others, but we can find hope and comfort in the idea that love is the answer to our problems.


The third verse raises existential questions about life and death, and the uncertain future of our planet. The song doesn't pretend to know the answers, but instead urges us to look within ourselves for guidance. The man in your heart, representing our innermost thoughts and feelings, might hold the answers we seek. The outro repeats the chorus, emphasizing the importance of loving one another when we've lost our way, are alone, far from home, down and out, or in need of a friend.

Meditated with this song in Nigeria way back in 2001. My house just got burned and I was looking for hope. This song inspired me to work harder and now I work at a law firm in Boston Massachusetts after my masters of laws. Bless your soul Garnet Silk!
