THE PROMISE: BY {THE MARTIN'S}

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 THRU
THIS WORLD ALONE. 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 SUFFICENT IN EVERY
TIME OF NEED. MY LOVE WILL BE THE ANCHOR THAT
YOU CAN HOLD ONTO. THIS IS THE PROMISE ,THIS IS
THE PROMISE I'VE MADE TO YOU .

I NEVER SAID THAT FRIENDS WOULD NEVER TURN
THEIR BACKS ON YOU. OR THAT THE WORLD AROUND
YOU WOULD'NT SEE YOU AS A FOOL. BUT I DID SAY
YOU'LL SURLEY BE DISPISED. AND I DID SAY MY WAYS
CONFOUND THE WISE.

I DID'NT SAY YOU'D NEVER TASTE THE BITTER KISS OF
DEATH. OR HAVE TO WALK THRU CHILLY JORDAN TO
ENTER INTO REST. BUT I DID SAY I'D BE WAITING, RIGHT
ON THE OTHER SIDE. AND I DID SAY, I'LL DRY EVERY TEAR
YOU'VE CRIED.

CAUSE YOU KNOW I MADE A PROMISE, THAT I 'VE PREPARED
A PLACE. AND SOME DAY SOONER THAN YOU THINK I'LL
SEE YOU FACE TO FACE. AND YOU'LL SING WITH THE ANGELS
AND A COUNTLESS MULTITUDE. THIS IS THE PROMISE, THIS IS
PROMISE I'VE MADE TO YOU.

SO JUST KEEP ON A WALKING , 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,YOUR GONNA MAKE IT
THRU. 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.
