the promise - chris cornell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
if i had nothing to my name
but photographs of you
rescued from the flame
that is all i would ever need
as long as i can read
what’s written on your face

the strength that shines behind your eyes
the hope and light that will never die

[chorus]
and one promise you made
one promise that always remains
no matter the price
a promise to survive
persevere and thrive
as we’ve always done

[verse 2]
and you said: “the poison in a kiss is the lie upon the lips”
truer words were never shared
when i feel like lies are all i hear
i pull my memories near, the one thing they can’t take

[chorus]
and one promise you made
one promise that always remains
no matter the price
a promise to survive
persevere and thrive
as we’ve always done

[bridge]
the books still open on the table
the bells still ringing in the air
the dreams still clinging to the pillow
the songs still singing in a prayer

[verse 3]
now my soul is stretching through the roots
to memories of you
back through time and sp-ce
to carry home
the faces and the names
and photographs of you, rescued from the flames

[chorus]
one promise you made
one promise that always remains
no matter the price
a promise to survive
persevere and thrive
and dare to rise once more
a promise to survive
persevere and thrive
and fill the world with life
as we’ve always done
