This is one of the few songs that John would play the piano on. It was premiered on April 10th, 1992 at a concert in Milwaukee, WI. Later he sung it at the Windstar symposiums in 1993 and 1995 with Peter Kater on the piano. At the 1995 symposium, John messed up the words in the first chorus.
John has also written another song called "Love Is the Answer" back in 1968. Not to be confused with this one!
LYRICS
In this magic hour of softening light
The moments in between the day and the night
The instant when all shadows disappear
The distance in between the love and the fear
There's a longing deep within the wandering soul
It's like the half that understands it once was whole
Like the two who only dream of being one
Like the moon who's only light is in the sun
There's a danger in forever looking outside
You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied
And you'll forget the sound of your own name
Thus begins the suffering and the pain
I wanted an answer, I wanted a way
I wanted to know just what to do and what to say
I wanted a reason, I wanna know why
Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
Inside my heart, deep in my soul
Within each part and in the whole
There's a promise in the journeys of the mind
You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find
That someday you'll remember who you are
The seed within a bright and shining star
Like a flame that lives within a hungering heart
That only awaits the gift of love for it to spark
Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly
Like the river that can't help but meet the sea
In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn
In the space between the silence and the song
Suddenly the mystery is clear
That love is only letting go of fear
Love is the answer, love is the way
Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say
Love is the reason, love is the why
Love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
Inside my heart, deep in my soul
Within each part and in the whole
Love is the answer, love is the way
Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say
Love is the reason, love is the why
Love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
