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 wanna 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 And that someday you'll remember who you are The seed within a bright and shining star It's 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, and love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside Inside your heart, deep in your 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 And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside.
