It's Not Enough

It’s Not Enough
 
It’s not enough to have a dream,
     unless you’re willing to pursue it.
It’s not enough to know what’s right,
     unless you’re strong enough to do it.
 
It’s not enough to learn the truth,
     unless you also learn to live it.
It’s not enough to reach for love,
     unless you care enough to give it.
