Dolly Parton - The Sacrifice Lyrics
Well, I've sacrificed time with family and friendsGave up vacations for work without end24/7, 365But I was willing to make the sacrificeBut empty or full, I've carried my paleYou don't drink the water if you don't dig the wellThrough blood sweat and tears I have built a good lifeBut it didn't come without sacrificeBut I was gonna be rich no matter how much it costAnd I was gonna win no matter how much I lostAll through the years I kept my eye on the prizeYou ask if it's worth the sacrifice, the sacrificeI think about Jesus and all that he gaveAnd the ultimate sacrifice that he madeHe is my strength and my guiding lightAnd he's taught me that nothing's without sacrificeI was gonna be rich no matter how much it costAnd I was gonna win no matter how much I lostI wanted success and, brother, I've paid the priceAnd, yes, it's been worth the sacrifice, the sacrificeI was gonna be rich no matter how much it costAnd I was gonna win no matter how much I lostGrindstones and rhinestones have made up my lifeBut I've shined like a diamond through sacrificeI was gonna be rich no matter how much it costAnd I was gonna win no matter how much I lostBut I hope God will tell me, 'Well done, my childYou've won your reward through your sacrifice, the sacrifice'The sacrificeBut sometimes I wonder in the still of the nightIs it really worth the sacrificeI've often laughed and I've often criedI've often failed but I've always triedI made the sacrifice
