When I was just a young boy my father
Said to me, always be an honest working man
From the east Kentucky coal mine to the
California Sunshine, he said there is enough for us all
Daddy kept on working and he bought a modest
Home. It was there that they raised a family.
And he kept on working harder for his little son
And daughter, so that there'd be enough for us all.
There is enough (There is enough) there is enough for us all
From the gleaming midnight cities to the humble family farm
There is enough (There is enough) there is enough for us all
Brothers there is enough for us all.
Now that I am older with a family of my
Own, it seems that my father's dream has gone.
When all the jobs are leaving it gets hard to
Keep believing that oh there is enough for us all.
For the bounty of our nation has been swallowed by
Our greed, and there are no checks upon our appetites.
Oh death to others sorrows,
Living like there's no tomorrow, oh but there is enough for us all.
There is enough (There is enough) there is enough for us all
From the Colorado mountains to the hills of Ohio.
There is enough (There is enough) there is enough for us all
Sisters there is enough for us all.
So my brothers and my sisters won't you listen to my song.
Live simply so that all may simply live.
Don't let your souls be bought or sold because you
Have forgotten. Oh that there is enough for us all.
There is enough (There is enough) there is enough for us all
From the mighty Mississippi to the halls of Washington
There is enough (There is enough) there is enough for us all
Brothers there is enough for us all.
Sisters there is enough for us all.
People there is enough for us all.
Oh there is enough for us all.
