The Power of Sacrifice Oleta Adams

Scarcely for an honest man
Would we take that fall
Or even for a brother
Would we die at all

For the good of all the people
Would you give your life
Can you teach me the power of sacrifice

And if love is the answer
How much is it worth
If I ransomed my desires
Like a savior on earth

And as our days are numbered
And each second wastes away
How do we fill our lives with substance
What's the price of love today

I've been faced with offers
To profit from your loss
But I became your benefactor
'Cause the gain's too high a cost

Could I ever face a future
Knowing what I could have done
If I offer more than friendship
Then the race can still be won
