Lyrics:
Years ago I spent my nights seeking hope in far off lights.
I found comfort in the cold
I was freezing but I knew I was not alone.
Now these days I'm moving on. Trouble stays; those lights are gone
But I'm not thinking of the past. In this present I know that no pain can last.

I am enough as I am. I am enough as I am.

I have hurt and I have learned that what I give shall be returned.
There is love left; there is love that I will know.
There is kindness I can show.

I am enough as I am.
I am enough as I am.

Enough

The Skipperdees (twin sisters Emily and Catherine Backus) hail from Oak Ridge, TN, a town mentioned in the 1989 film "Fat Man and Little Boy" which featured Paul Newman with a mustache. They write sad songs but are happy people; they are Capricorns and vegetarians. Come say hey at http://theskipperdees.com .
