The Answer - Richie Sambora

The lightning flashed as angels

Rode fiery chargers through the clouds

That answer scared me into tears

And all the grownups laughed out loud

Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone

Now they ride their thunder through the heavens

There’s a world in every drop of rain

Embracing oceans sweep us home again

Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

They say for every living thing

There’s a guide up in the sky

That helps you pass from world to world

So you never really die

Then with scythe and cloak

Death comes waltzing to your side

As the visions pass you ask

If there was meaning to your life

As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle

As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle

Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain

All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain

Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, and you shall find another life

And now my life is like a storm

Growing stronger every day

Like the unrelenting wind

That comes to blow our lives away

So I live each day like I know it’s my last

If there is no future there must be no past

Now I know the answers never meant a thing

And with each instant that I breathe

I feel the joy that life can bring

Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
