I'm a huge fan of country music. A big reason for this is because country songs often have very deep and meaningful lyrics.
Sugarland is one of my favorite country bands. I went to a concert of theirs in 2008, just after they had come out with their new album called Love On The Inside. Their opening song of the concert was their song called Love. It became one of my all-time favorites. The lyrics dug deep into my heart and my thoughts, and opened up my mind to new and interesting ideas of what love really is.
If Love is the Answer, then what is the Question?
They tried to figure that out in this song:
"Love"
Is it the face of a child
Is it the thrill of danger
Is it the kindness we see in the eyes of a stranger
Is is more than faith
Is is more than hope
Is is waiting for us at the end of our rope
[Chorus]
I say, it's love
I say, it's love
Is it the one you call home
Is it the Holy Land
Is is standing right here holding your hand
Is it just like the movies
Is it rice and white lace
Is it the feeling I get when I wake to your face
[Repeat Chorus]
Is it the first summer storm
Is it the colors of fall
Is it having so little
And yet having it all
Is it one in a million
Is it a chance to belong
Is it standing right here singing this song
[Repeat Chorus 4x]
Is it a veil or a cross
Is it the poet's gift
Is it the face that has launched over thousands of ships
Is it making you laugh
Is it letting you cry
Is it where we believe that we go when we die
Is it how you were made
Is it your mother's ghost
Is it the wish that I'm wishing for you life, for your life, for your life the most
