[Spoken Word]
If you see my heart beat on the line
In the heat of the moment, could you beat the snide
Your skin turns numb with anger
But if your mother's touch entered
Would you treat it as a sign?
If you hear my folks crying
Could you swallow the darkness of a crime
That would have been etched in time
A darkness that would be x'd in your family's line

Do you love enough?
Enough to carry you through the night
Enough for the moon to praise your light
If you hold your breath and shield yourself
You're a walking coffin, and that isn't life

Do you love enough to be alive?
Enough for your mother to not look for you outside
Enough to give a man you don't like some help
To look into the eyes of a hurting stranger and see yourself
Cause the block don't care

We learn to focus our energies on people who can't see past outer-layers, what we wear
And our hearts are pleading for a connection but not with those who are unaware
So we'll either care for each other of get dropped out there
Maybe you'll save a life if you put another ounce of love into the air
Do you love enough?
