I first fell in love with this song when I heard it on the finale of VH1's Tough Love. I had no clue what the song was called and I had a couple of theories as to who sang it. I was thinking it might be Tracy Chapman or perhaps Sarah McLachlan, or maybe it was Sheryl Crow. The only line I could remember to google later on was "no church and no synagogue" but absolutely nothing came up! Did I mishear those lyrics? The Tough Love website was of no help.

Two weeks later I happened to catch the finale as a rerun and I got hold of a pen and paper. When the song came on I wrote done a solid 4 lines to google. I couldn't find it via google, but what's interesting is that I stumbled upon a site of yahoo answers with someone who had written down some of the lyrics and was also desperate to find out this mystery song. The last answer directed to the blog of the new artist at enavie.blogspot.com

Her name is Ena Vie and the song is called "Big Enough"....and she keeps a regularly updated blog on blogspot, how cool is she???? Her song "Big Enough" is a reflection of a personal spiritual journey. Here's the excerpt from her post on the song

have grown up around so much dogma that focused mainly on attempting (and succeeding!) to place god, or the image of god...in a box, a book or limited to a word. throughout my travels, both geographically and spiritually, i have sought to find expressions of god, or the great mystery, in other traditions, religions, ceremonial practices and places of worship... and- what i have found is this...nothing, nothing...can limit the mystery of the divine. how can one limit that which is infinite? these experiences of my life formed the inspiration for the song, "big enough" which is on my newly released album..."from within".

so how high can you go?
and how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your dreams, tonight?
and how high can you go?
how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your loving arms tonight?

the moon
the sun
they breathe life to everyone
and the flames of fire
quench my desire
and the stars in the sky
they are bringing me insight
and the waves of water wash me over

so how high can you go?
and how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your dreams, tonight?
and how high can you go?
how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your loving arms tonight?

i am your daughter
i speak the great mother
i live as a woman in humanity
i am your son/sun
and i speak for all the great ones
i live in the center of humanity, yes i do!

so how high can you go?
and how deep is your flow?
and how wide are your dreams, tonight?
and how high can you go?
