lyrics
If love were the answer,
Would I still feel pain?
This cold common cancer's abate?
If love were the answer,
Then why must it fester;
To leave this sad world once again...?
If time were the answer,
I'd shut out that face...
That prime, stern example, a way...
If time were the answer,
A warm merry dancer,
Then why must we move all but strange...?
Some fate, as a jester,
I'm stuck in my place;
To shine out tomorrow's today.
Some fate, as a jester,
Proclaiming with laughter,
"My hearts just to broken to stay..."
If love were the answer,
Should I still feel pain?
And try not to mentor my fate?
If love were the answer,
I'd been so much better!
Better, I'd just go insane!
Ohhhhh...
Hear me...
Hear me...
Hear me...
Hear me...
If love is the answer,
Why should I feel pain!?
This life of disaster and shame!
If love is the answer,
Then why, I must ask her,
Aren't we all one in the same?
Aren't we all one in the same?
Aren't we all one in the same...?
