It Is The Answer

(Inspired by the song "The Rose" by Judy Collins)

She stares deep into the mirror before her,
Letting her velvet hair fall down in front of her eyes
A gentle smile to hide all the pain she feels within
Can she ever discover the truth behind all the lies?

How she wants to return to the magic of the past
She had loved him then, and that was all she knew
But now the clock has long ago struck twelve
Every day she wishes she could take back the words "I do"

CHORUS:
Some say love, it will complete you,
Wandering inside to fill your life
And some say love, it is a burden,
A difficult test that only brings strife
Yet some say love, it is a challenge,
It will control your head from the start
But I say love, it is the answer,
To every question in your heart

He sits all alone and stares up into an empty sky
Nothing but a picture in his head, a picture in his hand
Days of joy and laughter have permanently disappeared
So he waits for the day when he will finally understand

The tears have formed and are now falling from his eyes
As he feels like his life is coming apart at the seams
On bended knee in prayer he is not too proud to question
How can he ever survive with a life of broken dreams?

I believe in miracles, every time I look at you
As our lips meet strongly, you will know my love is true
It’s everything you are, and all that you’ll be
The world will seem like heaven as long as you’re with me

When I close my eyes your face is all I can see
And I know that our love will last eternally
It’s bigger than you and it’s bigger than me
When it’s us doing what comes all so naturally

I say love, it’s not a gift
A thing to give away when the time is right
And I believe love, is always precious,
You never give it up without a fight
‘Cause I know love, is never easy,
Things can get hard with no relief in sight
But I say love, it is my answer,
When you ask me why I’m here tonight
