about this song

This song is about living a good life in spite of the material world we live in. The intro lines, as spoken, sound like the question, “Is there enough?” I believe this is intentional, especially when you consider how the end of the song is an answer to this question, stating, “We always had it all.” The speaker starts the song thinking that they do not have enough, that they are too poor to live life well. By the end of the song they realize that they didn’t need money
