The Answer - Gretchen Peters

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 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
