Raised by the Offering

Verse 1 I used to think love was a river run dry, Pouring out my heart with no reason why. But every time I gave with an open hand, Something holy started blooming in the sand. Not for praise, not for gold, Not for stories to be told— Just a quiet light inside, Growing wider every time. Pre-Chorus And the more I let go, The more I become, A spark in the dark, A rising sun. Chorus Altruism gives birth to sublime emotions, Like flowers breaking through the stone. A selfless heart becomes an ocean, And no one has to drown alone. When I give, I don’t disappear, I become the atmosphere. Love in motion, soul devotion— Altruism gives birth to sublime emotions. Verse 2 I’ve seen mercy turn a battlefield green, Watched kindness wash the anger clean. A single hand can lift the sky, A gentle word can keep hope alive. There’s power in the tender things, In shelter made from broken wings. We rise when we refuse to turn away, We heal the world in small brave ways. Pre-Chorus And the more I forgive, The more I can see, The divine in you, The divine in me. Chorus Altruism gives birth to sublime emotions, Like flowers breaking through the stone. A selfless heart becomes an ocean, And no one has to drown alone. When I give, I don’t disappear, I become the atmosphere. Love in motion, soul devotion— Altruism gives birth to sublime emotions. Bridge Let my ego fall like ashes, Let my spirit rise like flame. If compassion is the doorway, Then I’ll walk through it unashamed. Every wound can turn to wisdom, Every tear can turn to rain. What we give becomes a kingdom, What we love is not in vain. Final Chorus Altruism gives birth to sublime emotions, A sacred fire in flesh and bone. A selfless heart becomes an ocean, Calling every lost soul home. When I give, I don’t disappear, I become the atmosphere. Love in motion, soul devotion— Altruism gives birth to sublime emotions. Outro So let me give without possession, Let me love without control. Every act of true compassion Plants a heaven in the soul.
