Procyon Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I was asked to illustrate a DVD which will feature this song - a wonderful song btw - and I need to write down the lyrics. I have tried my best, but there's two or more sentences I couldn't understand clearly. Can anyone help me? The question marks are where I could not understand. Here's the video: Collette Biron-Reid - Love Is The Answer Here's what I understood: I had a dream last night: The world turned out all the lights We were left in darkness There was nothing to remind us Of our life that we once had Things we thought we wanted And all our faith was dead Then I woke up and remembered Love that's the answer Nothing else can play with the dark (?) Only love can feed the hunger in our hears That's the answer, the only answer I had a dream this morning but with a smile upon my face I saw the God inside us we'd create a better place we celebrate our differences there would be no room for hate and all the souls before us could live their own lives remain (?) Love, that's the answer nothing else can play the dark only love can feed the hunger in our hearts that's the answer the only answer Love, that's the answer Quote
Rotwang Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure the second line you're unsure about is and all the souls before us to live their lives in vain. I think the first one is nothing else can play the part, but I'm not certain. Quote
Procyon Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks Rotwang. You are right! Now it all makes sense. I spend hours thinking, trying to figure out what could replace "remain", what a relief! BTW, it's "...can feed the hunger in our hearts" and not in our "hears" as I wrote. Feel free to correct any other mistake I made. Edit: "all our faith was dead", is what she sings? It seems a little odd to me. Quote
Rotwang Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 IMO: ...life that we once had should be ...life that we once led ...dream this morning but with a smile upon my face should be dream this morning put a smile upon my face ...God inside us we'd create a better place should be God inside us would create a better place (not too sure about that one) next two lines: we should be we'd, there would should be there'd I think all our faith was dead is correct.
