For all the moms out there. I wrote this in one afternoon after realizing that I was prone to martyring myself for my family’s approval and I needed to STOP. They do not want or need me to do that. They are happy when I am fulfilled, because then I can share my fulfilled, happy, radiant energy with them and fill their souls with love and peace. So if you tend to do this too… cut it out.
CHORDS & LYRICS
Em G Cadd9 D
Capo2
Giving giving
you’re so kind
But you’re not living
You’re so blind
For the others for the others
Sacrifice
Don’t pursue your selfish life
For the others for the others
Put off your life
What a beautiful lie
And you look for the light in their eyes
Permission for what you deny
Martyrdom martyrdom
Permission to be alive as
Reward for your sacrifice
Martyrdom martyrdom
Bankrupt heart
Tortured mind
Give everything
They don’t mind
For the others for the others
Sacrifice
Don’t pursue your selfish life
For the others for the others
Put off your life
What a beautiful lie
And you look for the light in their eyes
Permission for what you deny
Martyrdom martyrdom
Permission to be alive as
Reward for your sacrifice
Martyrdom martyrdom
Break:
You do it out of love
You do it out of love
But you’re out of love
Empty out of love
And you look for the light in their eyes
Permission for what you deny
Martyrdom martyrdom
Permission to be alive as
Reward for your sacrifice
Martyrdom martyrdom
And you look for the light in their eyes
Permission for what you deny
Martyrdom martyrdom
Permission to be alive as
Reward for your sacrifice
Martyrdom martyrdom
