Love is the Answer

Love is the answer…

The past is there to teach us,
but have we learned at all,
mistakes often get repeated,
though a wiser voice will call,
through the shadow feel the pulling,
a tugging toward the light,
the option of another choice,
a decision to set it right,
the path is of our choosing,
of this we can be sure,
and the lesson to be learned
is that love is the only cure;

the violence need not be continued,
the devastation can be healed,
the hunger can be ended,
the answer already revealed,
we can bring about equality
and in the future live in peace,
the days of war can be over,
we have the answer that we seek,
the decision is ours to make,
of this we can be sure,
and the lesson to be learned
is that love is the only cure;

can you hear the heartbeat
of the Brotherhood of Man,
of the Earth, and of the Air,
listen closely if you can,
it is your very own you hear
should you listen with your light,
for when you harm another,
it is yourself you smite,
the choice is our own choosing,
of this you can be sure,
and the lesson to be learned
is that love is the only cure;

we all have the peace within,
the light to lead the way,
we only have to listen,
let it guide the choice we make;
the answer will come easy,
for it is already cast,
we’ll be caught up in the flow,
we’ll have finally learned at last,
yet we hold the power of choice,
of this you can be sure,
and the lesson to be learned
is that love is the only cure.
