one
gift of
love, a healing hand
these
joining
hearts, this kindness done
one
sacrifice
verse
if i
could
touch your pain, if i could take this hurt away
this
aching
soul, this emptiness
i won’t
believe
there’s nothing left
i
take you
in my arms, and hold your heart next to mine
i see
your
tears, i hear you cry
those
wasted
years, too soon to die
my love
there’s
a
way to give you hope
there’s
a
way to look ahead
one
simple
act of giving and a little fear is shed (shared)
there’s
a
promise you can make, and it’s something so small
what’s
easy
for you is the greatest gift of all
chorus
one
drop
of blood, one chance for life
a
healing
hand, a selfless soul
these
joining
hearts, this kindness done
one
sacrifice,
one gift of love
one
drop of
blood [if i could touch your pain]
one
chance
for life [i could only take this hell away]
a
healing
hand, a selfless soul
these
joining
hearts, this kindness done
one
sacrifice,
one gift of love
