Promise You

If my tongue betrays me

If my fears eat me alive

If my cross starts burning

Beneath this open sky

Then everything is lost

But I had things to lose

My silver lining’s beautiful

I bet it’s gray to you.

 

If I lose my balance

On the highest wire

If I forget my place

If it’s at the worst time

I’ll know I paid the price

But it was worth the cost

Of giving everything

Instead of giving up

 

Hope can save our lives

I’ll put my neck to that

Hope can save your life

I can promise that

My faith can promise that

 

If I wake up dead

In your broken arms

You’ll know we spent the night

Dreaming of eachother

It isnt much to hold on to

And there is much to fear

But what' goes on around us

Makes us love what goes on here

My silver lining’s beautiful

I bet it’s gray to you.

 

Hope can save our lives

I’ll put my neck to that

Hope can save your life

I can promise that

My faith can promise that

 

My faith can promise you that

It’s not so hard to believe

It’s not hard to see

My faith can promise you that
