When Nothing is Enough  

When nothing is enough

You keep searching for a way to give

More of what you have inside

More of what you need to live

When the smallest is elusive

You just hold on for one more day

One more hour, one more minute

One more smile to light the way

Nothing is enough of you today

When nothing is enough

You make your plans, and count the cost

Even though you have it all

Even though it's all been lost

When what you have is elusive

You close your eyes and feel the pain

Ebbing, flowing, evergrowing

Winding down into the rain

Nothing is enough of you today

I give and I take and I feel the song between

Can't touch it, can't fake it, can't hear just what you mean

As little or as all, it's time to make the call

Nothing is enough; it's enough

When nothing is enough

You take it gladly, and pretend

There's a refuge in the thought

That will be until the end

When substinence is elusive

You call it sacred, lift it up

Integrate it through

Until you overfill the cup

Nothing is enough of you today
