The Answer

Where else can I find a need to belong? Where else can I find the seed for a song? Where else can my heart beat surely in time? Where else can I find someone to call mine? When did I stop searching for love? When did the autumn discover the dove? When did my heart no longer retreat? When did I find a promise so sweet? Who’s always there to answer my call? Who’s always there to cushion my fall? Who’s always there when all seems unfair? Who’s always there to show that they care? No place without you could I ever find The answers to questions, that run through my mind Where else, when did, and who’s always there --- The answers have meaning as long as you care.
