It Is Enough

This brief light
It is enough
This brief time
It is enough
I know we're done
And it's ok
And now I pass
This light to you
I was this love
I was this light
It was enough
It was enough
There's no goodbye
This song goes on
Our lines entwined
It is enough
I was this love
Just for this moment
It was enough
It was enough
I know we're done
And it's ok
And so I pass
This song to you
Olin tama
(I was this love for this moment
and it was enough
I was this dust for this moment
And it was enough
I was this life for this moment
And it was enough
