Never Enough
The Greatest Showman Ensemble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it stay this way
Can′t let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Gettin' louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it′ll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it′ll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
For me
The song Never Enough, as performed by The Greatest Showman Ensemble, is a powerful ballad that talks about the intense yearning for something that seems elusive, no matter how much effort is exerted to try and grasp it. The lyrics capture the yearning, as the singer tries to hold their breath and prolong the moment, fearful that it would end. There is a dream in them that the music perfectly captures, with the melody getting louder and louder until it becomes an echoing sound. As the singer takes the hand of their partner, they are asking them to share in this moment, understanding that without them, all the achievements they have accomplished would pale in comparison.
The chorus is quite an emotional moment, as the singer expresses that no amount of success or material wealth can ever be enough to satisfy their desire. The shine of a thousand spotlights and the stars they steal from the night sky will never be enough. Even the towers of gold are too little, and their hands could hold the world, but it would never be enough. The song then repeats the same lines with a different emphasis to give it a deeper meaning. The singer emphasizes that it is never enough for them, expressing the endless craving for something they could not quite grasp.

I′m tryin' to hold my breath
I am trying to hold onto this moment as long as possible
Let it stay this way
I hope this moment will never end
Can′t let this moment end
This moment is too special to let go of
You set off a dream in me
You inspired me to dream bigger than I ever thought possible
Gettin' louder now
My dreams are getting bigger and more insistent

Can you hear the passion in my voice and the echo of my dreams?
Take my hand
Will you join me on this journey?
Will you share this with me?
Will you be my partner in chasing our dreams?
'Cause darling without you
I couldn't achieve my dreams without your love and support
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
Even if I had all the fame in the world
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Even if we achieved everything we desire
Will never be enough
It will never be enough unless we have each other
Towers of gold are still too little
Even if we had all the riches in the world
These hands could hold the world but it′ll
Even if we had all the power in the world
Never be enough
It would never be enough without your love
For me
Everything is meaningless without you
Never, never
No matter what happens
Never, for me
Without your love, everything is meaningless
Never enough
Nothing will ever be enough without you
