The Promise - Secret Garden

I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone (Hmm) And I did say, don't make this world your home I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight 'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in every time of need And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me you'll surely be despised And I did say my ways confound the wise I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side (Yeah, yeah) And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry 'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you Oh, this is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you

Who is it? You again, thought you left But you never go too far Remember when we overslept? That morning when our thing fell apart But I never learn, I always lust And over trust I do it to myself But I can't be burying these feelings When it's the best thing that I ever felt You got my promise again You had me pining when you left Knowing it's been ages I'm taking it in Thought I was fine, ooh Need to leave you behind Maybe by September I Would have tried enough of other stuff To know that you weren't right But we never learn We always lust and over trust It happens overnight I don't wanna be your enemy Or something you need to pass the time So excuse me if this comes as green But sometimes I just wanna go back and rewind You got my promise again You had me pining when you left Knowing it's been ages I'm taking it in Thought I'd be fine, ooh Need to leave you behind Need to leave you behind It's been a long time, same decisions I make Slowly lead me back to you I'm in the open, lose all sense of knowing Are you onto someone new? Yeah It's been a burden, but the burden I'll take For a day or two It leaves me longing for a certain moment I hear a familiar tune

You said something will change We were all dressed up Somewhere to go No sign of rain But something will change You promised You said nothing will change We were almost near Almost far Down came the rain But nothing will change You promised A promise A promise A promise It's exactly the same You said It's always the same But I'll make it change Into something the same I promise A promise A promise A promise Light on the waves Light on the waves Light on the waves Light on the waves A promise A promise A promise A promise (Light on the water) (We could sail on forever) a promise A promise (There's light on the water) (We could sail on forever) a promise (There's light on the water) a promise (There's light on the water) a promise (We could sail on forever) a promise (There's light on the water) a promise (There's light on the water) a promise (We could sail on forever)

We all make mistakes (go) And one of mine was putting up with the horse shit (go) They say any kind of press is good Wasting my time on a shoot Because I should Sometimes I can't complain, though (go) Never looking good makes me a bankroll To make sure I'm stable So, if I crash my car and need insurance, then I'm able (Hello?) What is wrong with you? You got a problem with me I'm gonna make you wait in line As long as the DMV so they'll never reach me 'Cause I don't have time for that chatter That movie was awesome, man I love the character he played on Spongebob That's cool, that's what he was known for I literally went out on a limb, not planning ahead That's why it's been such a slow journey Journey to the top I guess I'll just go until I burn out As long as the wax keeps dripping I'll make sure to stay lit Stay lit Stay lit Stay lit

Won't you take this cup from me Cause fear has stolen all my sleep If tomorrow means my death Pray you'll save their souls with it Let the songs I sing bring joy to you Let the words I say confess my love Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune Father let my heart be after you In this hour of doubt I see Who I am is not just me So give me strength to die myself So love can live to tell the tale Let the songs I sing bring joy to you Let the words I say confess my love Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune Father let my heart be after you Father let my heart be For you For you For you For you Let the songs I sing bring joy to you Let the words I say confess my love Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune Father let my heart be after you Father let my heart be after you
