Promise

Nitin Sawhney


Lately, lately I've seen you in your dream 
Lost in a clouded mind 
Held down by all the things that seem so real 
The world you can't leave behind 

You've made all of the money you could spens 
You're begging for something more 
Behind the prison tou call your home my friends 
The light in the endless dark

Lately, you've followed your fears under the bed 
And fell for a hundred years 
Into the arms of a wounded melody 
The promise that love's still here 

You held a cynical world like God's bruised fruit 
Chopped from a sacred tree 
It's us, the enemy we fought all these years 
The stories of you and me 

So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life 
Forgoing the sweetest view 
There's a buzz like a lightbulb up to our ears 
Promise that love's still here 

Retrace the steps in the snow to find your friend 
'Cause the child had melt so fast 
Big dreams, the future you taste on summer's time 
Having it just won't last 

Right here, we've all got the answer in our heart 
If we could just let that go 
Lifetimes of beautiful sunday church bell girls 
The junkies upon the floor 

So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life 
Forgoing the sweetest view 
We could argue forever and ever, be clear 
Promise that love's still here 

If forever and ever and ever we find that we've ran our whole life 
Forgoing the sacred view 
There's a buzz like a lightbuld up to our ears 
Promise that love's still here 
The promise that love's still here 
The promise that love's still here 
The promise that love's still here
