Enough to Stay Alive by Sue Hobbs

Doin' enough to stay alive,
But not enough to really thrive.
What's that about?
Don't you want to live?
Really live?
Be fully alive in this day?
Why don't you want to live?
Really live?
Why better living only half way?

Goin' Through the Motions by Sue Hobbs

Goin' through the motions
Doin' all the things you've
got to do
In this day
Just to keep your head above water
Gettin' things done
Don't take time for any fun
Fresh air and breezes
The sun, how it teases
Through the branches in your mind
Telling you there's time enough
to spend a little walking
under the sky
Chase the clouds, embrace a child
Stand in silence 'til the deer, so wild
and free -- no longer flee
Match the motion of the earth
Turning calmly in the void
Never speeding up
to catch a shooting star
Never slowing down for fear of
going too far
Keep the pace of the planet
Given into your care
It is home to everything you know
Keep the voice of your maker
The loudest sound you hear
And you'll never wonder
which way to go
