Gretchen Peters
The Answer
I believe in a strong cup of coffee
Dressing up for church on Sunday
And taking it all in
I believe in shooting star wishes
And doing the dishes
In bare feet to the radio
I believe in parking lot Ferris wheels
Ice cream in high heels
And holding hands in the dark
I believe in a fresh coat of paint
In the passing of time
In the falling of rain
I believe in the kindness of strangers
That compassion will take us
The rest of the way home
I believe that we can do better
That we’re in this together
That we’re never alone
I believe in the wisdom of the heart
And that laughter and tears
Are just a breath apart
I believe that God does exist
That it’s never over
Except when it is
I believe in the kindness of strangers
That compassion will take us
The rest of the way home
I believe that we can do better
That we’re in this together
That we’re never alone
I believe in long conversations
At the end of the driveway
Instead of going home mad
I believe that love is the answer
That love is the answer
To every question we have
