The Promise

The Promise Lyrics

Cast a number into the sea
Here's a billion more you can throw away
It disappeared or I lost it somewhere
A year ago in the month of May

The only promise that we made to each other was
We'd try to save
Ourselves from falling into the same fate
As everyone else but it died just the same

Chorus:
But all the lights still shine
And as the days go by
You've got to pick yourself up off the ground
And come back in from the outside
Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there
We're not supposed to be alone

It's fragile times as I gain in age
And we know less than we did as a child
It disappeared or I lost it somewhere
But it's been gone from me for a while

The only promise that we made to each other was
We'd try to save
Ourselves from falling into the same fate
As everyone else but we ended the same

Chorus:
All the lights still shine
And as the days go by
You've got to pick yourself up off the ground
And come back in from the outside
Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there
We're not supposed to be alone

Bridge:
Hope is always there within a shattered dream

Chorus:
All the lights still shine
And as the days go by
You've got to pick yourself up off the ground
And come back in from the outside
Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there
We're not supposed to be alone
We're not supposed to be alone
