From the recording Completely Different - the CD
Our collaboration with social media coach Svantje Buchholz gave way to this interpretation of her wonderful poem "Enough". It's a song about finding a point in your life in which you actually SAY you're enough and speak it out loud, like you mean it.
Lyrics
Music: Jay Hoffmann, Lyrics: Svantje Buchholz
Comparing our bodies, judging our minds,
forgetting our hearts, forgetting our lives
Leaving everything we could be aside,
only to be running, running, running
chasing after
Being enough
Are we ever enough?
Never enough
Enough for someone we might not even have met yet
Enough for someone we might not even have met yet
Enough for someone we might not even have met yet
Enough for nothing?
Enough for someone?
Enough is enough
We are enough
Will we ever be enough for ourselves?
For something that we long for?
Do we long for ourselves?
Or do we actually long for someone else’s
attention, confirmation, validation?
Being enough
Are we ever enough?
Never enough…
Enough for someone we might not even have met yet.
Enough for someone we might not even have met yet.
Enough for someone we might not even have met yet.
Enough for nothing?
Enough for someone?
Enough is enough.
We are enough.
Enough is never enough until we decide it’s enough.
Until we decide that we ARE enough.
Decide to be enough today because someday there won’t be enough time anymore to be enough.
Worthy enough to be alive, to be breathing, to be happy, worthy enough to simply be-e-e-e.
To simply li-i-i-ve.
Enough for nothing?
Enough for someone?
Enough is enough.
We are enough.
Enough for nothing?
Enough for NOONE!
Enough is enough.
We are enough.
We are enough!
