Springtime in the morning
Springtime every night
Springtime in the summer
Spring

Commitment sacrifice
Commitment today
Commitment sacrifice
Come, stay

What did it mean?
What is the ice?

Commitment sacrifice

Come, stay

Springtime in the morning

Commitment and Sacrifice
Words and Music by glennny
(yes, I just read Ender’s Game)

Verse 1
How absurd to be a Third
Everything is a game and I want my name
To be on top of the charts
At the start and the end ‘cuz I want to win
I was born for this but I can’t express
How much I miss sister Valentine

Pre chorus
If you want to know what’s up
The enemy gate is down

Chorus
Sacrifice my childhood for the greater good
Commitment to the game is fun
‘cuz I never ever really wanted to hurt anyone

Verse 2
Human beings are free
Except when they’re needed by Humanity
We might do despicable things
But if Humankind survives
Then we were good tools

Pre chorus
If you want to know what’s up
The enemy gate is down

Chorus
Sacrifice my childhood for the greater good
Commitment to the game is fun
‘cuz I never ever really wanted to hurt anyone

COMMITMENT AND SACRIFICE
(another short-ass song by DJ Ranger Den)

Hey, I know we've been dating for a while...
and I really liked your blue eyes,
and your Extremely Special Smile -
but I've got A Confession...

My *Annoying* Little Brother,
well ... he sacrificed your dog :S
in the middle of our backyard to an *annoying*, vengeful god
(and he's getting help...but...)
I guess that it's over... :(
"Really interesting how the point you’re making slowly emerges like Martin Sheen from the mud in Apocalypse Now..." ~j$

Commitment and Sacrifice
by
Cord Smith

think back a couple years when you were only mine
sleeping in on sundays three four five
now oh the wanting now oh the needing
never was a melody could keep us alive
  • nothing
    could ever let you down
    and so you come on back around again for
    nothing
    we never had a chance but we fight it anyway
how long you been together depends on when you start
was it this time or last you broke your heart
people want their peace i just want to sleep
we broke so many times it's become fine art

think about commitment think about sacrifice
or think about the piece of shit who ruined your life
a relationship so sickly never dies quickly
it comes with a smile a smile like a knife

two lead on
the dance is wrong
a loss of movement
a loss of song

Commitment and Sacrifice
by Otalgia

I feel miserable
grinding my teeth together and tearing out my hair
I feel only despair
dragging me down through the depths of hell

Is it because of her that I feel this way?
With the black rays of misery pounding on my brain?
Or am I lost in a tale of fantasy
Commitment and Sacrifice make it all worthwhile

I feel miserable
melting my sense of self and the flesh from my bones
I feel no sense of purpose
darkness does its best to envelope my soul

Is it because of her that I feel this way?
With the black rays of misery pounding on my brain?
Or am I lost in a tale of fantasy
Commitment and Sacrifice make it all worthwhile

She broke my will to live
the sun will never shine again
She broke my will to live
She will never be mine again

Commitment And Sacrifice
by William Lane

Commitment and sacrifice
Makin the world go round
We all have to roll the dice
Sometimes were lost sometimes were found

We buy our memories through the years
There is no second chance
We pay with our blood, sweat and tears
Giving and taking is the name of the dance

I guess its all just gonna depend
On what we want from this life
That determines the means to our end
That determines our struggles, pain and strife

You may not have a lot to give
You may not have any good advice
But all you really need to live
Is commitment and sacrifice


It seems Ive given it all to you
My every day and night
Its just something I have to prove
I cant say its wrong and I wont say its right

I only know how I feel inside
It makes me feel like I'm all brand new
And when the rotten in me has died
I'll know that it was all because of you

I can see how you try so hard
To show me that Im the one
Cuz ive always got up my guard
In fear that maybe your just havin fun

But no matter what we do
We both only pay one price
To make it all shine through
It takes commitment and Sacrifice.
A good % of people that think they are songwriters are not songwriters at all, they are confused poets. The difference between writing song lyrics and writing poetry is 3 lengths of a fool. If you don't believe me lay down and measure it sometime.

Commitment and Sacrifice

Commitment says,
“I am the angel of children with hungry mothers
“I am the herald of the mass migrations
“I am the peace that inevitably must follow war
“I am the truth offered for the reconciliation

"I can tell you why
"I can tell you why
"All the houses on a quiet street
"All the bodies in history’s dustheap
"I can tell you why
"I can tell you why"

Sacrifice says,
“I am the ashes of the martyr for an ancient tribe
“I am the hope of the brothers on the battlefield
“I am the scarcity that follows disaster
“I am the scars after wounds are healed"

"I can tell you why
"I can tell you why
"All the houses on a quiet street
"All the bodies in history’s dustheap
"I can tell you why
"I can tell you why"

I am the product of the labor of generations
From the death camps to the stranger in strange land
Who endured the sting of humiliation
With a determination that I will never understand

Who can tell me why?
All the houses on a quiet street
All the bodies in history’s dustheap
Who can tell me why?


Verse:
Em11 – Dsus

Chorus:
Am9 - G
Am9 – G - D

Commitment and sacrifice
The planet's back around so we got good light
A few trees in the way but they're trees we like
Just keep the windows open for the health of our lungs
Everything else will follow along

Yeah let's get it going let's get it finished
The more time it takes the less interest in it
Get some green paint from the discount store
And the girls won't turn away anymore

Yeah let's get it going as fast as we can
Before we fall all over ourselves again
There's something in the kitchen if it ain't out nice
To he'll with this commitment and sacrifice

They're standing in the front they're standing in the back
The less mouths we feed the more mouths on attack
Get some cheap heat from the obvious source
And the girls won't turn away anymore

Mouths on attack mouths on attack
Bring on the wait-staff we're in the weeds here
They're kicking the door in where's that commitment
Mouths on attack mouths on attack

Our friends are coming round so we'll be alright
There's paper on the floor cus the floor won't dry
Keep the windows open......etc
