Sacrifice
Embracing Love Through Sacrifice: Sure Conviction's Musical Lesson
Lyrics
I just got off the phone today
I recently had a phone conversation
With a good friend of mine
With a close friend of mine
She mentioned something bout her family
She talked about her family
And having a real good time
And they were enjoying themselves
Wouldn't it be great to see them
Expressing a desire to spend time with them
Wouldn't it be great to be with them
Reflecting on the joy of being together
But I had my own plans for this is my life
But the singer has his own plans for his life
I thought about all the words
Contemplating on shared words
That were shared between the two of us
Recalling the conversations with the friend
For a moment I paused then I realized
A moment of reflection leads to realization
If she gives into me, it would be great for my reason
If the friend yields, it benefits the singer's motives
Instead I could sacrifice, just a little bit of my time
Choosing instead to sacrifice some time
If there's one thing that I've learned over the years
Learned that love requires sacrifice
Without sacrifice - there isn't love
Without sacrifice, love is incomplete
If a side of me just won't give in
Refusing to yield some part of oneself
And I'd rather be on my own
Prefer being alone than compromising
Than I'd never grow, I'd never know
Choosing growth over stagnation
Sacrifice - Sacrifice
Reiterating the theme of sacrifice
I heard somebody say, to get love
Recalling the idea that giving leads to love
You gotta give it away
Feeling a pull to act on this realization
And I felt something tugging at my heart that day
Emotionally moved on a particular day
I knew I should pick up the phone
Sensing the need to make a call
And tell her that I'd go along
Deciding to join the friend's plans
When I did, she thanked me, now I wrote this song...
The friend appreciates, leading to the creation of the song
I once read about a man
Referencing a story about a selfless man
Who gave of himself to the very end
Who gave everything till the end
He sacrificed His life for you and me
Highlighting the ultimate sacrifice for others
I want to learn to be like Him
Expressing a desire to emulate that sacrificial spirit
And give love instead of taking it in
Aspiring to give love instead of taking
For it's better to give than to receive
Emphasizing the virtue of giving over receiving
I still believe, in sacrifice
Reaffirming belief in the value of sacrifice
