Isn't It enough?
Shane Dickie 1969 (Riverview)
Isn’t It Enough
Isn’t it enough
The beauty of a sunrise or sunset,
The humming of the bees in the summer,
The taste of a ripe beach or a sweet banana,
Isn’t it enough the way a song brings you to new
Heights
A gentle deed or a soft spring breeze,
The sound of a babbling brook…
Isn’t it enough or how much do we need to be
Satisfied?
It is enough; it is us who are not enough
