Well, I've sacrificed time with family and friends |
| [00:13.02] |
Gave up vacations for work without end |
| [00:17.45] |
24/7, 365 |
| [00:21.27] |
But I was willing to make the sacrifice |
| [00:25.09] |
. |
| [00:25.65] |
But empty or full, I've carried my pale |
| [00:29.84] |
You don't drink the water if you don't dig the well |
| [00:33.89] |
Through blood sweat and tears I have built a good life |
| [00:38.32] |
But it didn't come without sacrifice |
| [00:41.88] |
. |
| [00:42.25] |
But I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost |
| [00:46.57] |
And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost |
| [00:50.76] |
All through the years I kept my eye on the prize |
| [00:54.94] |
You ask if it's worth the sacrifice, the sacrifice |
| [01:01.94] |
. |
| [01:07.82] |
I think about Jesus and all that he gave |
| [01:11.88] |
And the ultimate sacrifice that He made |
| [01:16.32] |
He is my strength and my guiding light |
| [01:20.18] |
And He's taught me that nothing's without sacrifice |
| [01:23.71] |
. |
| [01:24.28] |
I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost |
| [01:28.90] |
And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost |
| [01:33.14] |
I wanted success and, brother, I've paid the price |
| [01:37.34] |
And, yes, it's been worth the sacrifice, the sacrifice |
| [01:45.14] |
. |
| [01:58.36] |
I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost |
| [02:02.67] |
And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost |
| [02:06.92] |
Grindstones and rhinestones have made up my life |
| [02:10.80] |
But I've shined like a diamond through sacrifice |
| [02:14.61] |
. |
| [02:15.05] |
I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost |
| [02:19.55] |
And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost |
| [02:23.86] |
But I hope God will tell me, "Well done, my child |
| [02:27.98] |
You've won your reward through your sacrifice, the sacrifice" |
| [02:36.42] |
. |
| [02:40.23] |
The sacrifice |
| [02:48.98] |
But sometimes I wonder in the still of the night |
| [02:53.23] |
Is it really worth the sacrifice |
| [02:58.11] |
|
| [03:06.32] |
I've often laughed and I've often cried |
| [03:10.38] |
I've often failed but I've always tried |
| [03:14.57] |
|
| [03:18.15] |
I made the sacrifice |
| [03:20.09] |
. |
