Lyrics
Who can tell my heart to beat again
Who can raise my life up from the dead
Who can bare my shame and my regret
Who will be the lifter of my head
It's You O' Lord
You are the answer
You are the answer
It's true O' Lord
Now and forever
You are my answer
Who can send the mountain to the sea
Who can tell the captive to go free
Who holds power to redeem
Who can save a broken mess like me
It's You O' Lord
You are the answer
You are the answer
It's true O' Lord
Now and forever
You are my answer
If anybody's asking
Anyone is wondering
Anyone questions what I am living for
If anybody's asking
Anyone is wondering
Anyone questions what I am living for
It's You O' Lord
You are the answer
You are the answer
It's true O' Lord
Now and forever
You are my answer
Anybody wondering
Anybody asking
It's only You
It's only You
It's You

Meaning & Inspiration
The Answer centers on a series of questions about restoration, freedom, shame, and rescue, and answers each one with a direct confession of trust in the Lord. The repeated declaration that the Lord is the answer gives the song a worshipful focus without reducing the struggles named in the verses. Images of a lifted head, a moved mountain, and a captive set free present divine help as both personal and decisive.
The language closely echoes biblical themes of resurrection, redemption, and God as the one who raises the discouraged. Psalm 3:3 is especially relevant because it calls the Lord the lifter of the psalmist’s head. The mountain imagery also recalls Jesus teaching that faith can command a mountain to move. As the final lines turn toward public confession, the song portrays worship as a clear account of what gives life its purpose: enduring dependence on the Lord now and forever.
