Love Is The Answer
Utópia 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'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
Tell me, is it worth just another try?

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer (let it shine)
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer (you know the answer is love)

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
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
All 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, you got to shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all (know that love can save the day)
Set us free
Love is the answer
(Just give it, just one more chance)

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer (love, love, love)
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer
(Lord, you just can't let it stop, Lord)

Light of the world, shine on me




Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free

Line by Line Meaning

Name your price
Money isn't the answer to the problem


A ticket to paradise
There's no such thing in reality, it's just a state of mind


I can't stay here any more
I need to seek something more meaningful


And I've looked high and low
I've been everywhere, but still haven't found what I'm looking for


I've been from shore to shore to shore
I've gone to all extremes and still nothing


If there's a short cut I'd have found it
Desperation led me to futile shortcuts


But there's no easy way around it
The only way to find what I'm looking for is to go through it


Light of the world, shine on me
I seek guidance and enlightenment in this dark world


Love is the answer
Love is the ultimate solution to all problems


Shine on us all, set us free
Give us hope and freedom through love


Who knows why
Life is a mystery


Someday we all must die
Death is inevitable


We're all homeless boys and girls
We are all wanderers in life without a real home


And we are never heard
Our pleas for help often go unnoticed


It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
The world can be a lonely and sad place


People turn their heads and walk on by
People ignore those in need


Tell me, is it worth just another try?
Is it worth continuing to put faith in humanity?


Tell me, are we alive, or just a dying planet?
Are we really living or are we contributing to the world's destruction?


What are the chances?
What are the chances of saving this planet?


Ask the man in your heart for the answers
Deep down inside, we already know the answers


And when you feel afraid, love one another
In moments of fear, love can provide comfort

In need of a friend, love can be a companion

At the end of life, love is all that matters


We got to love, we got to love one another
As human beings, we must love each other


Light of the world, you got to shine on me
I ask for divine intervention and guidance


Shine on us all (know that love can save the day)
Spread love to all, as it can be a savior


Set us free
Through love, we can find freedom and liberation


Lord, you just can't let it stop, Lord
I ask for divine intervention in spreading love
