    • WARMER SONG: Love is the Answer (Todd Rundgren) Glossary

      Song will be shared from teacher's Apple Music with lyrics

      LOVE IS THE ANSWER (Todd Rundgren and Utopia) 

      Name your priceA ticket to paradiseI can't stay here anymoreAnd I've looked high and lowI've been from shore to shore to shoreIf there's a short cut I'd have found itBut there's no easy way around it
      Light of the world, shine on meLove is the answerShine on us all, set us freeLove is the answer
      Who knows whySomeday we all must dieWe're all homeless boys and girlsAnd we are never heardIt's such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely worldPeople turn their heads and walk on byTell me, is it worth just another try?
      Light of the world, shine on meLove is the answer (let it shine)Shine on us all, set us freeLove 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 anotherWhen you've lost your way, love one anotherWhen you're all alone, love one anotherWhen you're far from home, love one anotherWhen you're down and out, love one anotherAll your hope's run out? Love one anotherWhen you need a friend, love one anotherWhen 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 meLove is the answerShine on us all (know that love can save the day)Set us freeLove is the answer(Just give it, just one more chance)
      Light of the world, shine on meLove is the answer (love, love, love)Shine on us all, set us freeLove is the answer(Lord, you just can't let it stop, Lord)
      Light of the world, shine on meLove is the answerShine on us all, set us free
