Sacrifice

(album: The Expendables - 2007)

From where I would have been but a different plan
Like I'm tied up on the sand
They washed away from me
Opportunities to where I stand
Sometimes I feel so empty-handed
'Cause we're not the only ones
Who will understand me

It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies, yeah
It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies

We'll never ever lose sight of our goals
Won't let go
And even now, we're a little bit older
The truth is colder
Gotta work, gotta work, gotta work, gotta work
Gotta work, gotta work, gotta work, gotta make that money
I hope it's something
'Cause we're not the only ones
Who can make this happen

It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies, yeah
It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies

The current is so strong and I can fight no more
And how I long to be
On that stable shore
If we can only step outside the shade
And in the games we play
The threat of uncertainty
Has carried me out to sea

It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies, yeah
It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies
