Music Is Enough

If you look hard enough, there's someone who wants to see you fail
They're going to spread hatred, try to burn all your bridges
Discourage and shake you, cut you down till they break you

But if you look hard enough,
someone wants to pick you up where you fell off
They're going to show you with
love, tell the world that you're too good
Build you up till you're strong, build a stage you can sing on

So I can handle this
It's just a small rejection
A small sliver of flesh nicked off my back with a dirty old knife
And I can live without it

Wish I could sing a song of a perfect world
But sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes it's unbearable
Sometimes you'll want to lash out, sometimes you'll want to give up
But I will choose love, and music is enough
I will choose love, and music is enough

If you look hard enough, there are people who want to do harm
They want to ruin lives, stop you sleeping at night
Make you blind if you can see, chain you up if you're free
But if you look hard enough, there are people who want to do good
Caring even for those in whom others might see no hope
To preserve what we have and help the good outweigh the bad

So we can handle this
It's just a small shake-up
An illusion of certainty severed off from our innocent minds
And we can live without it

Wish I could sing a song of a perfect world
But sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes it's unbearable
Sometimes you'll want to lash out, sometimes you'll want to give up
But I will choose love, and music is enough
I will choose love, and music is enough

Just me with my guitar
You might wonder why I even bother
But those fakers and haters, I'm doing it for them
Because everyone is worthy to do what they most love
And I do it because someone, somewhere, just once
Might need to hear my voice and that's enough

Just me with my guitar
You might wonder why I even bother
If I could be stuck in my bedroom forever
Well, to me it doesn't matter if I stay here because...

I will choose love, and music is enough
I will choose love, and music is enough

Wish I could sing a song of a perfect world
But sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes it's unbearable
Sometimes you'll want to lash out, sometimes you'll want to give up
But I will choose love, and music is enough
I will choose love, and music is enough
I will choose love, and music is enough
