Promises
I was promised a bike
Then I made my dad mad
He said it was my fault
All because I was bad
Promises promises
Yes so easy to make
little pieces of dreams
That other people take
My first lover told me
She'd love me for all time
What we had was special
She would always be mine
Promises promises
Yes so easy to make
Little pieces of dreams
That other people take
Still I kept believing
These wishes would come true
Promises promises
Would stop making me blue
So I made a promise
One I hoped would be true
It turned out my promise
Wasn't easy to do
Promises promises
Yes so easy to make
Little pieces of dreams
That even I can take
I look to the heavens
I can now see so clear
He's the promise keeper
Who has always been here
His wonderful promises
Have all been made and kept
With this realization
I just silently wept
He gave me some loved ones
To show dreams can come true
There really are people
Whose promises are true
A shout out to some of the promise keepers
Who have made a difference in my life. Mom, Teresa, Mary and Matthew.
I love you all so much.
