Not Enough Lyrics - Caedmon's Call - Caedmons Call

I mount up with waxen wings 

High to reach the sun 

And I am no further than 

When I first begun 

So, I build a mount of Athos 

To shape Your form against the sky 

With my home in your hands to show all the people why 

To show all the people why 

Everything I do 

It's not enough for You 

Everything I do 

It's not enough 

It's not enough for You 

In the garden of my pride 

The lamented lime tree 

Too stupid to cry for rain 

Fruitless and choked out by weeds 

So, I write a book of life 

Using the best words I can find 

For some struggler to snuggle up 

When the world becomes unkind 

When the world becomes unkind 

Everything I do 

It's not enough for You 

Everything I do 

It's not enough 

It's not enough for You 

I find direction in eastbound clouds 

And long for what they might have 

But when I step into its midst 

Its substance, I cannot grasp 

So, I paint a portrait of You 

As if you had human disguise 

With oil and canvas to be clay 

To open up their eyes 

Like you opened up my eyes 

Everything I do 

It's not enough for You 

Everything I do 

It's not enough 

It's not enough for You 

Everything I do 

It's not enough for You 

Everything I do 

It's not enough 

It's not enough for You
