• “How Much Is Enough” by The Fixx

    I felt this was adequate for today’s post. The message remains solid.

    “Good enough’s not good enough
    Don’t complain that you’ve got it tough
    With all you have your life’s a bore
    Can’t relax you want so much more
    Blind needs won’t set you free
    Can’t you see that
    Time is slipping away
    But I got to say

    How much is enough? when your soul is empty
    How much is enough? in the land of plenty
    When you have all you want and you still feel nothing at all
    How much is enough, is enough

    Gravity may bring you down
    But harmony could spin you round
    Information aerial
    Says buy buy buy material
    Give take all day long
    Can’t you see it’s
    Hopeless being strong
    When you live it wrong?

    How much is enough? when your soul is empty
    How much is enough? in the land of plenty
    When you have all you want and you still feel nothing at all
    How much is enough, is enough

    So give me your attention
    I know it’s getting late
    While we were dreaming
    Something slipped away
    We’re drowning in possessions
    Playing tricks with our minds
    Lost from one another
    Baby put your hand in mine
    Time is slipping away
    But it’s not too late

    How much is enough? when your soul is empty
    How much is enough? in the land of plenty
    When you have all you want and you still feel nothing at all
    How much is enough, is enough”

    About

    A web programmer by day, I somehow still spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, God, and the significance of grace and love in daily events. I am old school in the sense that I believe in the reality of sin, and in the need of each human heart for deliverance to the Divine. I am one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that you can find most answers to life's pressing issues in Him and His Word, the Bible. I ain't perfect, and a lot of the time I ain't good, but by God's grace and kindness, I am forgiven and free.
