[Verse 1]
Late at night I typed a hopeful line
Into a screen of strangers' names
It took some time, it took some nerve
But slowly something lit a flame
Then one day there you were, real and bright
With a spark that warmed the coldest night

[Chorus]
You are enough, you always were
Your strength, your warmth, your gentle fire
I feel the love that lives in you
It lifts me up, it pulls me through
I'm here to stay as long as you want me
I'm here to stay, just wait and see

[Verse 2]
You've walked through storms that tried to break you
Old wounds that could have locked the door
But Deb, you kept your heart wide open
And somehow chose to love some more
You teach with patience, laugh so freely
Your beauty opens my heart's doors

[Chorus]
You are enough, you always were
Your strength, your warmth, your gentle fire
I feel the love that lives in you
It lifts me up, it pulls me through
I'm here to stay as long as you want me
I'm here to stay, just wait and see

[Bridge]
On days our bodies fight a storm
We will hold on tight and silence the fear
I want to help take good care of your beautiful heart
The way you've held mine from the start

[Verse 3]
Six dogs running through the morning
Lulu, Finn and Anje play
Shady, Sean and Virgil gather
Round the one who lights their day
We're healing, growing, side by side
You cheer my dreams and light the way

[Chorus]
You are enough, you always were
Your spark, your strength, your gentle fire
I feel the love that lives in you
It lifts me up, it pulls me through
I'm here to stay as long as you want me
Oh Deb, I'm here, just wait and see

[Outro]
Just as you are, you're perfect, love
You are enough, you are enough
