Who is Enough?

if all i had was me
would that be enough?
would that be enough for you
or for my English teacher to give me a 'b' instead of the 'd'
she seemed so eager to place upon my paper
cuz my work wasn't up to her standards?
would i be enough to walk up to and talk up to Saddam and
ask that madman why he did the way he did
indoctrinating kids to fight for reasons
he didn't believe in enough to fight for himself
would i be enough to take on the extra assignments
at the office that no one else wants because
i would cut my solitaire time in half
separating myself from the average staff as being more
when the point of the assignment was my boss's raise maker
if all i had was me is that enough for a raise?
would i be enough to write the song that would unite
those with the same thoughts, do i need to do more than
the little i do now, but how
would i be enough to sit my mother and my sister down
over dinner and prove my lesbian sister a lesser sinner
to encourage love, am i enough to make love happen in my own
home, in my own heart i wonder am i enough
if all i had was me and no boys in the crew
no beer jokes and cigar smokes would i be enough to myself
am i enough am i all it takes to stop helplessness
and homelessness, cant i take that guy in off the street
i got a spare room and would like to assume that i can
i got more than i need, more clothes and food and time
and money but is the little i have, enough to give
would i be enough to empty orphanages when there are kids
growing up antagonized and without friends
would i be enough to brighten anyones day with a smile
with a listening ear, with truth in saying i care
how can i be enough to stop the crime its happening all the time
how can i be enough, life's a tree i still gotta climb
would i be enough to the families i drive by
avoiding saying hi cuz i really don't have time to talk
about them and their problems and discover the problems
and solve them for them who cant
if all i had was me and my hands and feet
to help the lady out there on the street
with three kids and a huge headache
change her two tires before i get too tired
to go home and wish i was enough of the man
i wish to be
so that i could make love to a woman
i thought was enough for me
