THE PROMISE
Lyrics written and owned by Chantele Delaine
Go on, lay your head down
Go on, close your eyes
If you need I'll rock you
Through your cries I’ll empathize
I’ve been there through wakeful nights
And when you learned to crawl
I’ll be there when I can
To catch you when you fall
Doesn’t seem so long ago
You barely reached up to my knees
But through the years I’ve watched you grow
Though I wanted time to freeze
Now you’re no longer a child
You face all new rules
Which years demand you grow yourself
A living set of coping tools
'Cause I’ve been there through wakeful nights
And when you learned to crawl
I’ll be there when I can
To catch you when you fall
I have done alright by you
Though sometimes I set you down
I’ve watched on as you claimed
Your first step on the ground
I want to hold you throughout the long haul
The Promise is my love to you all
Go on, lay your head down
Go on, close your eyes
If you need I'll rock you
Through your cries I’ll empathize
Because I’ve been there through wakeful nights
And when you’ve learned to crawl
I’ll be there when I can
To catch you when you fall
You are part of my soul
You are a part of me
You're the purest part, don't you know?
You are my legacy
Am I’ve been there through wakeful nights
And when you learned to crawl
I’ll be there when I can
To catch you when you fall
The Promise is my love to you all
