[Dolly Parton - The Sacrifice lyrics]
Well, I've sacrificed time with
Family and friends
Gave up vacations for work without end 24
7, 365
But I was willing to make the sacrifice
But empty or full, I've carried my pale
You don't drink the water if
You don't dig the well
Through blood sweat and tears I
Have built a good life
But it didn't come without sacrifice
But I was going to be rich
No matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
All through the years I kept
My eye on the prize
You ask if it's worth the sacrifice
The sacrifice
I think about Jesus and all that he gave
And the ultimate sacrifice that he made
He is my strength and my guiding light
And he's taught me that
Nothing's without sacrifice
I was going to be rich no
Matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
I wanted success and, brother
I've paid the price
And, yes, it's been worth the sacrifice
The sacrifice
I was going to be rich no
Matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
Grindstones and rhinestones have made
Up my life but I've shined like a
Diamond through sacrifice
I was going to be rich no
Matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
But I hope God will tell me, 'Well done
My child you've won your reward
Through your sacrifice, the sacrifice
The sacrifice but sometimes I wonder in the
Still of the night
Is it really worth the sacrifice
I've often laughed and I've often cried
I've often failed but I've always tried
I made the sacrifice
Family and friends
Gave up vacations for work without end 24
7, 365
But I was willing to make the sacrifice
But empty or full, I've carried my pale
You don't drink the water if
You don't dig the well
Through blood sweat and tears I
Have built a good life
But it didn't come without sacrifice
But I was going to be rich
No matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
All through the years I kept
My eye on the prize
You ask if it's worth the sacrifice
The sacrifice
I think about Jesus and all that he gave
And the ultimate sacrifice that he made
He is my strength and my guiding light
And he's taught me that
Nothing's without sacrifice
I was going to be rich no
Matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
I wanted success and, brother
I've paid the price
And, yes, it's been worth the sacrifice
The sacrifice
I was going to be rich no
Matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
Grindstones and rhinestones have made
Up my life but I've shined like a
Diamond through sacrifice
I was going to be rich no
Matter how much it cost
And I was going to win no
Matter how much I lost
But I hope God will tell me, 'Well done
My child you've won your reward
Through your sacrifice, the sacrifice
The sacrifice but sometimes I wonder in the
Still of the night
Is it really worth the sacrifice
I've often laughed and I've often cried
I've often failed but I've always tried
I made the sacrifice
