Love Is the Answer Lyrics

Broken hearts everywhere
From stepping on them, we don't care
Somebody tell me what we gonna do
Even though it's plenty to share
People hungry on the streets, it ain't fair
But you don't think about it until it's you

Now I'm gonna say how I feel
And what I wanna say is love's the only thing that's real
I won't tell you what to do
Just believe that love - the only thing we have that's true

'Cause love is the answer
It's the answer to the questions in your mind
Love is the answer
It's the answer, if you're looking you will find

The answer is love
Yes, indeed
The answer is love
Say it again
The answer is love
I'm telling you now
The answer is love

Friends know where to be found
To help you when you are down
But you know you are the one to blame
You know what's wrong from what's right
Nobody wins in a fight but still we play the game

I'm gonna say how I feel
And what I wanna say is love's the only thing that's real
I won't tell you what to do
Just believe that love - the only thing that's real and true

'Cause love is the answer
It's the answer to the questions in your mind
Love is the answer
If you're looking it's the answer you gonna find

Love is the answer
It's the only thing that everybody needs
Love is the answer
It's the only thing that makes us truly free

Just look around the whole wide world
So many beautiful things to see
Take my hand and come along
Spread some love with me

'Cause love is the answer
It's the answer to the questions in your mind
Love is the answer
If you're looking it's the answer you gonna find

Love is the answer
It's the only thing that everybody needs
Love is the answer
It's the only thing that makes us truly free

The answer is love
Yes, it is
The answer is love
Now say it again
The answer is love
The answer is love
The answer is love
The answer is love
Yes, it is
The answer is love
Now say it again
The answer is love

Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III (born 1979 in Orange County, California), better known by the stage name Aloe Blacc, is an American soul singer, rapper and musician. He began his recording career as an MC back in 1995 when he joined up with hip-hop producer Exile to form the mainstay indie rap group Emanon. Aloe released his debut solo album Shine Through on Stonethrow Records in 2006 and followed this up in 2010 with Good Things. He has also collaborated with the Cradle Orchestra under the name Bee, and they released the project Open Your Mind in 2009. His song "I Need a Dollar" is the intro song for the HBO show How to Make It in America. The I Need A Dollar Songfacts reports that after this retro soul track hit the charts throughout continental Europe, Blacc signed with major label Epic Records for the UK and Ireland release of the record.

A few years later, Aloe would “stow away” on a Lootpack European tour and become fast friends with Oh No – a relationship which led to many fruitful collaborations as a solo artist.

These days, Aloe Blacc has evolved into a true Renaissance man – dubbed “the indie R. Kelly” by online retailer Turntable Lab. Recordings like his Latin cover of John Legend’s “Ordinary People” prove that – not only can this multi-instrumentalist produce, rap and sing – but he can flip it in Spanish, too. With an amazingly broad set of influences ranging widely from the acoustic guitar stylings of folk artist Cat Stevens, to the soul-stirring sounds of the Negro Spirituals, Aloe prides himself on the spectrum of his musical roots. His sound often forays into the digital R&B realm, but always grooves with a tinge of Latin and the pulse of hip-hop. Read more on Last.fm.
