Representative Text

Morning comes, and I must go: day is breaking yonder.
After all the places I have been, now I'm going home.
I have been to seek the sky, to travel on the highway,
and the time has come, I don't know why, I am going home.
Where is the answer to so many questions?
I don't know, so I begin another journey.
Where is the meaning for my world? I see the answer now. [Interlude]

Though we came by different roads, now we walk together.
Stay beside me all our days, strangers nevermore.
Through the cool of summer rains, by the hearth-side fire,
I'll be with you when nothing remains; I am home to stay.
For love is the answer to so many questions.
Now I know, and I can stop my endless wand'ring.
Love gives the meaning to my world. I see the answer now.
Love gives meaning to my world, and I see the answer now.
Love is the answer, love.
