Love is the way - Kris Kristofferson with Johnny, Waylon and Willie (1983)

This is such a wonderful performance of Kris's beautiful song... even before the Highwaymen started to perform
The album song is on Kris's album "Repossessed" (1986)
There's also an official video to the album song
• Kris Kristofferson - L...
Love is the way (Kris Kristofferson)
Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness
A tiny blue marble is spinning through space
Born in the splendor of God's holy vision
And sliding away like a tear down his face
Closer you see the whole wide holy wonder
Of oceans and mountains and rivers and trees
And the strangest creation of many, the human
A creature of laughter and freedom and dreams
Now the warriors are waving their old rusty sabres
And preachers are preaching the gospel of hate
By their behaviour determined to teach us
A lesson we're soon to be learning to late.
Look closer my brother, we're killing each other
And we'd better stop and get started today
Because life is the question and life is the answer
And God is the reason and love is the way.
Because life is the question and life is the answer
And God is the reason and love is the way.
Because life is the question and life is the answer
And God is the reason and love is the way.
Yes, life is the question and life is the answer
And God is the reason and love is the way.

No, this performance is before they formed The Highwaymen; though it's what gave rise to the idea of doing so.

True, but the Highwaymen didn't form as a group until 1985 - 2 years after this was recorded :-)

I agree. I believe this was the first performance that Waylon did after quitting his drug addiction "cold turkey". You can see that he has put on a little weight and looks so much healthier. RIP, Waylon!

This is David from Seattle (but not anymore, I'm in Southern California now) and I just wanted to say hello, I hope you're well, and I wanted you to know I still follow you and your uploads and I thank you for all your efforts!

Did Kris sings this song on an album of his?

Wijnand Hollander Yes, it's on his Repossessed album from 1986. You won't get this album for a reasonable price, but you will find it on the cd of Kris titled Kris Kristofferson The Country Collection. This actually is his two albums Repossessed and Third World Warrior (1990), the tracks even are of the correct order. www.amazon.com/Country-Collection-KRISTOFFERSON-KRIS/dp/B000024ZA4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482084958&sr=8-2&keywords=Kris+Kristofferson+the+country+collection
