lyrics

Wrote a letter to the stars
A couple lines and a couple bars
Sent it off into the sky
Stood by the door to wait for a reply

But day after day
Nothing came back
The silence grew
And I was drowning in it fast
I fell to my knees
And cried “I give up!”
But then I heard a voice say
“The work is enough”

Made a record of my life
Stories of my dog, my family and my wife
Pressed it into melted wax
Took off for the sun, never looking back

Out of the road
Where I tried to live
It wouldn’t take
And something had to give
As I fell to the earth
I cried “I give up!”
But then I heard a voice say
“The work is enough”

Inside my head
Where doubt comes to feed
I made a stand
My heart took the lead
The battle was pitched
I almost gave up
Then I heard my voice say
“The work is enough”
