More Than Enough

"Is it enough to cry?
 Is it enough to say goodbye?
 Is it enough to thank the heavens we're alive?" 
 

Two weeks ago, my friend, Homer Cang (composer, singer, music producer), wrote a song (in just less than a day) in remembrance of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda that badly struck and devastated the Philippines. Entitled MORE THAN ENOUGH, it's a song dedicated to both the victims and the survivors of the typhoon, even to the those who just weren't really affected by the typhoon at all.


So... I am very happy I got the call. My friend asked some of my singer friends and I, if we would willingly do the backup vocals for the song. Of course, we said yes! It was our great pleasure and honor to be a part of something so beautiful! :)


Now, two weeks later, we've finally finished the song after a couple of recording sessions. 'Twas really fun and very fulfilling!

I hope you'll enjoy this song.

Let's love, till the love we give becomes more than enough. :)

Check the song and lyrics below:




VERSE 1
Is it enough to cry
Is it enough to say goodbye
Is it enough to thank the heavens we're alive

VERSE 2
Is it enough to feel
Is it enough to feed the hungry
Is it enough to pray for a bright and better day

PRE-CHORUS 1
Let's take it deeper
Deeper than the love the world could ever offer
And bring it higher
Higher than the human spirit has ever gone

CHORUS
Love like we've never loved before
Don't wait until tomorrow
It's all or nothing now
Pour your heart out to the world
Give till it hurts - beyond all reason
When it's in and out of season
Let’s make a difference now
Till the love we give
Becomes more than enough

VERSE 3
Is it enough to try
To live your life just to survive
Is it enough to know the sun will shine your way

VERSE 4
Is it enough to receive
All the pleasures for you and me
Is it enough to count your blessings
And turn a blind eye to others' needs

PRE-CHORUS 2
There's a faith that's stronger
Stronger than the loudest wind could ever blow
A hope that's wider
Wider than the greatest river has ever flowed

*(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
Let's come together
It's now or never
Let's change the world and make it brighter
it's not too late
No, It's not too late

*(CHORUS)

CODA
It's not enough to cry
It's not enough to say goodbye
It's time to change the world -- you and I
