Promise - Mirah

There was a child

Who was born to be

The one who comforts me

Who grew up strong

And brave and holy

Loves me rough and tenderly

Can it be understood

The reasons why you belong to me?

I need the steady of you

And i’d give you anything

That i could cut with sweet precision

From beneath my tender skin

There is a way, there is a way

That you can save me from this

Would you promise to be kind?

Promise to be kind

The wind is ever faithful

And it carves a solemn sword

Right through the hearts

Of the ungrateful

Who are always wanting more

There is a way, there is a way

That you can help me

With the ramparts built so high

All the soldiers stuck inside

But this will fall away in time

If you promise to be kind

Promise to be kind

Promise to be kind
