“SCALE OF SACRIFICE”

VERSE
Sometimes I feel like giving up. And sometimes I feel like I haven’t given enough. Sometimes I philosophize my
reason for being. Sometimes I overanalyze situations I be in. I’m seeing dreams as I lay me down to sleep at night.
When I awaken hope these things will come to light. But I can’t just hope, got to keep the scope on focus. Make sure
that I’m prepared when opportunity approaches. That means action, not just waiting for things to happen. Domino
effect causing a chain reaction. But problems always come when things are going so smooth. Seems like the more I
gain, the more I have to lose. Certain choices that I make influences my destiny. While other things unexplained
remains His mystery. I’m living for heaven while going through hell. I’m just trying to find a way to balance my scale

CHORUS
Everyday is a struggle in my life (my life)
Every morning I’m thankful for the light (the light)
Everyday is a day of sacrifice (un-huh)
Every night I pray that things will be all right (all right)

VERSE
Sometimes I wanna cry but I can’t weep. I must keep these feelings bottled inside. I guess you can call it pride.
Sometimes I wanna crawl into a shell and be left the hell alone. Sometimes I wish my heart was made of stone.
So if I did wrong, wouldn’t feel a guilt trip. Wouldn’t care about the filth of temptation when I slip. Drinking
one shot too many. Mixing Scotch with the Remy. Connecting dots with Ms. Friendly. Now I’m plotting on slimmy.
Have her squatting on Jimmy. And she forgot to give me her name. Inebriated, fornicated with an average dame.
I don’t respect her body nor respect her brain. But I too am to blame, cause I can refrain. Tired of the same old
story, but the page I never change. This strange train of thought got me caught up in limbo. It gets hard sometimes,
but I ignore the signs and symbols. So what am I to do? Wanna choose the hedonistic views. The booze and big
boobs got me amused. Please excuse my sins your shoes I want to walk in. I’m living for heaven while going through hell. I’m just trying to find a way to balance my scale

CHORUS (repeat all right at end of chorus 4x’s)

BRIDGE
I’m stepping out without eyes ahead of me. I’m not worried
I have a guide that will help me see. I may stumble, I may fall
Go through jungles, run into walls. Face defeat, I may lose
Feel the heat, I’ll get bruised. But I will rise, I will soar
Win my prize, win the war. I have hope, strong is my will
I will cope, I will heal

VAMP
Ev-er-y-day is a strug-gle in my life
Ev-er-y-morn-ing I am thank-ful for his light
Ever-y-day is a strug-gle in my life
Ev-er-y-morn-ing I am thank-ful for his light
Ev-er-y-day is a strug-gle in my life
E-ver-y-morn-ing I am thank-ful
Grate-ful, for his light
Thank-ful, grate-ful, for his light
Thank-ful, grate-ful, for his light
Thank-ful, grate-ful, for his light
