Gary Valenciano: Love is the answer

Ticket to paradise
I can't stay here anymore
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore
If there's a shortcut, I'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it

Chorus:

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We are hopeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try

Chorus:

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Refrain:

Tell me, are we alive
Or just a dyin' planet
(What are the chances?)
Ask the man in your heart
For the answer

Coda:

And when you feel the pain (love one another)
And when you've lost your way (love one another)
And when you're all alone (love one another)
And when you're far from home (love one another)
And when you're down and out (love one another)
And when your hopes run out (love one another)
And when you need a friend (love one another)
And when you're near the end (love, we've got to love)
