Promises

Time is hard to understand\nAnd even harder to explain\nTrying to keep up with the second hand\nIs enough to drive anyone insane\nI promised myself by the light of the moon\nI’m gonna change my life\nI’m gonna change my tune\nI’m gonna fill my heart with a love so strong\nI’m gonna rise up singing a brand new song\nIf we only kept half of our promises\nThis world would be a much better place to live\nFirst we have to accept that it is what it is\nStop trying to forget, we only get what we give\nWell maybe you’re tired, just like me\nOf trying so hard to be free\nIf we could rise above our fear of change, we’d see\nThat, through the eyes of love, its all the same\nTime is a cruel yet forgiving friend\nWho slaps your face and then holds your hand\nLeaves you starting from scratch all over again\nIn the ruins of your best laid plan\nStanding on a precipice of a metamorphosis\nSpread your wings now butterfly\nGoodbye now, empty chrysalis\nIf we only kept half of our promises\nWe might even earn the right to exist\nInstead of regret, we might learn to forgive\nInstead of survive, we might learn how to live.
