The Answer
For all those who ever looked at the stars, and wondered why they are there. For those who have asked the question, of why is there a longing in my soul, as though it was a clue to something beyond. For all those who have realized the longing inside for something more, and wished for the answers. This is what this song's story is about.
The Answer
Xristozo
From birth I often wondered
What this life would bring
Where does the road go?
When I can’t see a thing?
No thunder from heaven
No angels that glow
Only a heart that's longing
To know more than I know
OH God the feeling, I can't shake
every moment I'm living, and I'm awake
oh oh oh to see the answer
To meet it face to face,
like a lost friend
But now I have discovered
If I don't knock, the door stays closed
If I never ask the question
How could I ever know?
It’s the questions I face
The searching, keeps me awake
Beyond all that my eyes can see
Something calls me endlessly
oh oh oh oh
My longing is ancient as time itself
As wide as the heavens,
worth more than wealth
It started a searching,
I can't satisfy
Till every thought is tested,
like gold purified
I'll seek for the answers,
wherever it goes
Through all that I question,
through all that I know
For somewhere beyond,
what my eyes can see
There lies the answer,
waiting there for me
I've stood beneath the stars
And wondered why they're there
I've measured what I can
But answers aren't found there
What makes a heart hunger?
What teaches us to love?
Why do we reach beyond ourselves
For something more above?
I won't fear the questions
Or cling to what I know
If truth is really truth
It won't fear where I go
oh oh oh oh
My longing is ancient as time itself
As wide as the heavens,
worth more than wealth
It started a searching,
I can't satisfy
Till every thought is tested,
like gold purified
I'll seek for the answers,
wherever it goes
Through all that I question,
through all that I know
For somewhere beyond,
what my eyes can see
There lies the answer,
waiting there for me
I could wait for the answer
I could wait for a sign
Blame it all on fate
And surrender what's mine
What if silence isn't silent?
What if darkness hides the light?
What if all these questions
Are calling me tonight?
What if this longing has a reason?
What if this hunger can be fed?
What if what I've searched for all my life
Has been searching for me instead?
oh oh oh oh
My longing is ancient as time itself
As wide as the heavens,
worth more than wealth
It started a searching,
I can't satisfy
Till every thought is tested,
like gold purified
I'll seek for the answers,
wherever it goes
Through all that I question,
through all that I know
For somewhere beyond,
what my eyes can see
There lies the answer,
waiting there for me
oh there is answer, I know
It's more than just talk
or a feeling that goes
It's calling within me to know
to not just await,
and hope that it goes
going find them,
going to get them
and make them my own
gonna see, gonna see
it all made known
oh oh oh oh yeah
I'd rather seek it...
Than never know.
I’d rather find it in an answer…
Than just believe, what I am told
