Gifts and Sacrifices

In the quiet of your giving, you've laid your heart so bare, Silently hoping they’d see the truth, in the solace of your care. But shadows linger where light should dwell, in the echoes of their “me and mine,” Why pour your soul into a well, where love’s return never climbs? Pre-Chorus: But oh, the weight you carry, It's yours to lay down tonight. In the mirror, see clearly, Your worth is not their right. Chorus: Why should you have to bleed, for a heart that won’t beat true? Why does your love need to feed, the one who won’t cherish you? Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is your gift, let it teach you to resist, Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. Verse 2: They say love is tender, a sacrifice indeed, But must it always render, you to a lesser creed? Selfish hearts roam with ease, as you bind your wounds tight, It’s time to claim your peace, let your spirit take flight. Pre-Chorus: But oh, the chains are breaking, Your eyes are now set wide. The dawn is yours for the taking, Rise up with newfound pride. Chorus: Why should you have to bleed, for a heart that won’t beat true? Why does your love need to feed, the one who won’t cherish you? Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is you rs for the taking, Rise up with newfound pride. Chorus: Why should you have to bleed, for a heart that won’t beat true? Why does your love need to feed, the one who won’t cherish you? Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is your gift, let it teach you to resist, Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. Bridge: Let go of the shadows, step into the day, Their indifference, your signal to break away. You’ve danced in their shadows, been caught in their lies, Now it’s your turn to rise, let your spirit fly high. Chorus: Why should you have to bleed, for a heart that won’t beat true? Why does your love need to feed, the one who won’t cherish you? Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is your gift, let it teach you to resist, Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. Chorus: Why should you have to bleed, for a heart that won’t beat true? Why does your love need to feed, the one who won’t cherish you? Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is your gift, let it teach you to resist, Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. But oh, the chains are breaking, Your eyes are now set wide. The dawn is yours for the taking, Rise up with newfound pride. Chorus: Why should you have to bleed, for a heart that won’t beat true? Why does your love need to feed, the one who won’t cherish you? Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is your gift, let it teach you to resist, Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. Love is your gift, let no one dismiss, Hate is your gift, let it teach you to resist, Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. Justice will come as your healer, in the solace of your own light. outro
