America (Enough) Lyrics

If there’s noise enough

it turns back to silence

If there’s crowd enough

turns back to solitude

If there’s pain enough it turns to something

Something almost bright

I’ve been wanting to tell you the way that the planes

Circling down cross the water

look like a string of falling lights

If there’s time enough

there’s no such thing as an hour

If there’s love enough

the rest of this won’t even matter

On the days when it’s not hard it can be easy

Easy being alive, easy being alive

I’ve been wanting to tell you the way that the ice

On the lake sounds like thunder or guns

In the middle of the night

America, America

Find it fast, find it cheap

If your neighbor won’t give it, take it for free

Oh, easy chair, big screen t.v.

Oh, hurry hurry

it’s the American dream

If there’s comfort enough

it turns back to sorrow

If there’s money enough

it turns back to paper

If there’s killing enough we all know nothing

Nothing ever can be won

I’ve been wanting to tell you the way the balloon

Seemed to skate on the pond

neither falling nor floating away

America, America

America, America...
