Trophy Shelf

(Verse) There's a dark place we can go Flush our dreams down in one flow We focus on our hurt and the pain Gaze and reflect a gain and a gain Love means holding our hands out Because other people is what life's about Sometimes to receive, sometimes to give It's easy to self love, to self lihve (Chorus) It's time to find someone to love, someone to help Time to stop placing ourselves on the trophy shelf They say "boundaries!" Stop listening to those voices! Listen to God and start making better choices (Chorus) It's time to find someone to love, someone to help Time to stop placing ourselves on the trophy shelf (trophy shelf) They say "bound-a-ries!" Don't listen to those voices! Listen to God and start making better choices (Verse) The people we love don't need just words Give a full measure, not just one-thirds Giving like this means a sacrifice Don't look back, don't think twice Life isn't a one way street Love is burdens shared between Don't be just a taker or a giver Always both and strength won't wither (Chorus) Time to be someone who needs love, who needs help Time to stop placing myself on the trophy shelf (trophy shelf) They say "bound-a-ries!" Don't listen to those voices! Listen to God and make better choices (Bridge) The hardest thing to do is receive Gifts from others who have needs But they just like me been given grace I smile and say thanks with-a warm embrace (Bridge) ... It's giving and receiving that helps us grow Let the love in, let gratitude flow Let's fight with acts of kindness, let's compete And together we will see, together is sweet (Verse) There are those who seek to separate Don't listen, don't let them dictate It's together that makes us strong With family and friends we all belong ... (Verse) The people we love don't just need words Give a full measure, not just one-thirds Giving like this means a sacrifice Don't look back, don't think twice Life isn't a one way street Love is burdens shared between Don't be just a giver or a taker Always both and love grows greater!
