If I had nothing to my name But photographs of you Rescued from the flames
That is all I would ever need As long as I can read What's written on your face
The strength that shines Behind your eyes The hope and light That will never die
And one promise you made One promise that always remains No matter the price A promise to survive Persevere and thrive As we've always done
And you said "The poison in a kiss Is the lie upon the lips" Truer words were never shared
When I feel Like lies are all I hear I pull my memories near The one thing they can't take
And one promise you made One promise that always remains No matter the price A promise to survive Persevere and thrive As we've always done
The books still open on the table The bells still ringing in the air The dreams still clinging to the pillow The songs still singing in a prayer
Now my soul Is stretching through the roots To memories of you Back through time and space
To carry home The faces and the names And these photographs of you Rescued from the flames
And one promise you made One promise that always remains No matter the price A promise to survive Persevere and thrive And dare to rise once more A promise to survive Persevere and thrive And fill the world with life As we've always done
