The Promise - The Iveys

Cast a number into the sea

Here’s a billion more you can throw away

It disappeared or I lost it somewhere

A year ago in the month of May

The only promise that we made to each other was

We’d try to save

Ourselves from falling into the same fate

As everyone else but it died just the same

But all the lights still shine

And as the days go by

You’ve got to pick yourself up off the ground

And come back in from the outsid

Reach out, reach out, ther’s somebody there

We’re not supposed to be alone

It’s fragile times as I gain in age

And we know less than we did as a child

It disappeared or I lost it somewhere

But it’s been gone from me for a while

The only promise that we made to each other was

We’d try to save

Ourselves from falling into the same fate

As everyone else but we ended the same

All the lights still shine

And as the days go by

You’ve got to pick yourself up off the ground

And come back in from the outside

Reach out, reach out, there’s somebody there

We’re not supposed to be alone

Bridge:

Hope is always there within a shattered dream

All the lights still shine

And as the days go by

You’ve got to pick yourself up off the ground

And come back in from the outside

Reach out, reach out, there’s somebody there

We’re not supposed to be alone

We’re not supposed to be alone
