The Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you're born you make a promise When you die it is fulfilled That in all your days among us You'll do just what you will That in your indecision Disinheriting a child When you tear apart the forest Just as sacred and as wild You're in decision You made a promise [Verse 2] When you're born you make a promise When you die it is fulfilled That you cannot take it with you It'll stay just as it's built So in harmony with nature As the parent to your child You will leave it as you found it Just as sacred and as wild You're in decision You made a promise [Verse 3] When you're born you make a promise That you will die and die you will All your power is for nothing If power is to kill You can use your power for sorrow Or to make your children smile They're the same as tomorrow Just as sacred and as wild You're in decision You made a promise [Outro] You're in decision You made a promise You're in decision You made a promise You're in decision You made a promise You're in decision You made a promise
