You fed me where I was at my hungriest On every example that you write As the sun makes a black sky blue The signature flirtation of moon darks the light In an ice cabin you came to finish your book The boys are coming home from ice fishing The girls will warm em up There's a light on in here There's some whiskey in a cup And we're alive today Let that be enough They wouldn't allow him to call his daughter The ancient Arabic word for rain From the parquet floors of the institute The little darlings will make good in their beds again They empty the shelter line soup upon the street Stand up tall to the fighting man Look him in the eye Youths in love with the world again Make love where the ministries used to lie And you can ride with me It's how it feels to be alive Let it be enough Let it be enough Somewhere beyond the factory gates Where they gave their lives away Girls and boys are reading books Being young is not enough today And the pencil cranes they fill the sky For the ice fisherman are coming home To immeasurable acts of love Light her curves read her lines Everything else can be given up But we're alive today Let that be enough Let that be enough Let that be enough
