I was there in the beginning I will be the last to leave And I'm movin' through the ages With the comfort of Godspeed
There is no such thing as perfect so I might apologise That I didn't see the darkness in your eyes In your eyes
I'm a man of many colours I'm a man of many names I'm a rebel and a teacher I am no-one just the same
If I give away the answers, you have questions put on hold But I didn't see the weakness in your soul
Love is the only answer Love's what you feel In the end you can invest in love But never ask for payback
I've been travellin' every roadside I been sailin' every sea I been circlin' like in orbit 'Round that cosmic Christmas tree
You think science is a fact, but it's just a childish game And they never saw the greatness of a game
Love is the only answer Love's what you feel In the end you can invest in love But never ask for
Love is the only answer Love's what you feel In the end you can invest in love But never ask for payback
Saw the craziness begin on a cold race straight to Hell There ten more hours ago, we just waitin' for the bell Not much time for small talk now, besides to Heaven and the nail Bringing out the muscles for the shadows never fail
Where did all the goodness go? I feel alone Suddenly they're just crawling out like from under a stone
Love is the only answer Love's what you feel In the end you can invest in love But never ask for payback No, Jack
Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole It's like the world just collapsed into space If you look for a trace of redemption You're not likely to find in this place
I've always looked for good in everyone I've seen so many places under the sun Now, then they ought'a let me down It's just you and me and time I'm a king who lost his crown I bid you bread and wine
I always hoped that love was in your eyes Now I sacrifice to find out if I was right Now, then they ought'a let me down It's just you and me and time I'm a king who lost his crown I bid you bread and wine
Where did all the goodness, where did all love go? Where is all the kindness? Cannot find a home First you bring me up and then you break me down I don't want your money, I just want your time
World is getting older now World is getting colder now Eagle's getting bigger This playground for the wicked
No-one's really listenin' No room for the reasonin' The cash machine just opened up it's drawers So now it's diggin' in
Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole It's like the world just collapsed into space If you look for a trace of redemption You're not likely to find in this place
Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole It's like the world just collapsed into space If you look for a trace of redemption You're not likely to find in this place
I was here in the beginning I will be the last to leave You've been told so many times before That the truth will set you free
But still you fabricate your dreams On greed and lust and fame Bring shame upon your name It's so damn hard to elevate
If I speak to you with clarity And you read me back alright So that words may go like chefs of light Into the darkest night
There's no way out of here There's no way out of here
There's no way out of here
I was here in the beginning I will be the last to leave And I'm movin' through the ages With the comfort of Godspeed
There is no such thing as perfect So I might apologise That I didn't see the darkness in your eyes
Love is the only answer Love's what you feel In the end you can invest in love But never ask for payback
Love is the only answer Love's what you feel In the end you can invest in love But never ask for payback
