Lyrics
Be the Question
By Lynda McLaughlin and Valerie Gurka
Verse 1
Can you tell me
What is the answer
You're not sure yet
You better look a little harder
Verse 2
I ain't got time for maybe
I'm sort of a yes or no girl
Some people like the shades of gray
I'm in for black or white
Chorus
Be the question - you'll find the answer
You live the question - You'll get the answer
You be the question - You'll find the answer
You live the question - You'll get the answer
Verse 3
It took some time for me to get life
I wonder if I'm doin' it right
And life's so short you never know
So take the time to hear the wind blow
Verse 4
It's deep my friend but you can tell me
Is this what you've always planned for
Well, you can always make it right
This much I know for sure
Chorus
Be the question - you'll find the answer
You live the question - You'll get the answer
You be the question - You'll find the answer
You live the question - You'll get the answer
I keep on looking, I keep on looking, I keep on looking~~ for the answer
I keep on looking, I keep on looking, I keep on looking~~ for the answer
