Expendables, The - Sacrifice Lyrics






From where I would have been but a different plan
Like I'm tied up on the sand
They washed away from me
Opportunities to where I stand
Sometimes I feel so empty-handed
'Cause we're not the only ones
Who will understand me

It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies, yeah
It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies

We'll never ever lose sight of our goals
Won't let go
And even now, we're a little bit older
The truth is colder
Gotta work, gotta work, gotta work, gotta work
Gotta work, gotta work, gotta work, gotta make that money
I hope it's something
'Cause we're not the only ones
Who can make this happen

It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies, yeah
It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies

The current is so strong and I can fight no more
And how I long to be
On that stable shore
If we can only step outside the shade
And in the games we play
The threat of uncertainty
Has carried me out to sea

It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies, yeah
It's such a sacrifice inside, yeah yeah
Somebody clear these stormy skies

    Mark Mendoza Hernandez I was 22 without a care in the world when I found this gem! I’m 33 now with a wife and 2 daughters, smoking days are over but I still enjoy the good music vibes.

  18. K.... H....

    My theme song. Only to be compared to rent from pepper as far as the meaning. Two totally different playing styles though.

    Stay focused. Don't let age define you. Eat healthy live long.

    Where I would have been with a different plan
    Like the tide upon the sand
    It washed away from me
    Opportunities to where I stand 

    Sometimes I feel so empty handed
    Were not the only ones
    (were not the only ones)
    Who will understand me

    ooooh oooh ooooh
    It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    Somebody clear these stormy skies

    We’ll never ever loose sight of our goals
    Won’t let go
    And even tough were a little bit older
    The truth is colder

    Got to work….got to make that money
    I hope its something
    Cause were not the only ones
    Who can make this happen

    ooooh oooh ooooh
    It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    Somebody clear these stormy skies

    The current is so strong
    And I can’t fight no more
    And how I long to be 
    on that stable shore

    If we could only step outside the shade
    And in the games we play
    The threat of uncertainty 
    (the threat of uncertainty)
    Has carried me out to sea

    ooooh oooh ooooh
    It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    Somebody clear these stormy skies ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    It’s such a sacrifice inside ya ya
    ooooh oooh ooooh
    Somebody clear these stormy skies
