For some weird reason people think
That money and fame equal love
They spend their lives acquiring
When sufficient could be enough
Their eyes look wide and far to find
What they think they could need
While forgetting to look inside themselves
With thanks and prayer , indeed
This intense and selfish desire won’t bring
What you are looking for
If you would look inside yourself
You’d find you need no more
We need so little to get along
We’re all we ’re looking for
It’s just that you’re looking in the wrong place
And always think you need more
And when you get those wonderful things
That you’ve been searching for
You find that feeling deep inside
Is tearing at your core
Enough is enough should be enough
We shouldn’t need any more
And yet we continue to gather ‘stuff’
And see life as a chore
If we could just sit in silence
Then we could learn the truth
That less means more and we’re enough
We have been since our youth
But someone somewhere gave us the message
That we are not enough
We formed a skin that’s thick and wide
And very very tough
And yet our true self is loving and warm
And soft pliable and truth
If we could just be enough for ourselves
We’d find the fountain of youth
The intense desire of greed is strong
And very overtaking
If will we possess and want to change
Then a new ‘we’ is in the making
Let go of objects, money, power and all
That you used to think you needed
And find your true authentic self
Your desires you’ve exceeded
