Promise - Nitin Sawhney

Lately, lately I’ve seen you in your dream

Lost in a clouded mind

Held down by all the things that seem so real

The world you can’t leave behind

You’ve made all of the money you could spend

You’re begging for something more

Behind the prison you call your home my friends

The light in the endless dark

Lately, you’ve followed your fears under the bed

And fell for a hundred years

Into the arms of a wounded melody

The promise that love’s still here

You held a cynical world like God’s bruised fruit

Chopped from a sacred tree

It’s us, the enemy we fought all these years

The stories of you and me

So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we’ve ran our whole life

Forgoing the sweetest view

There’s a buzz like a lightbulb up to our ears

Promise that love’s still here

Retrace the steps in the snow to find your friend

'Cause the child had melt so fast

Big dreams, the future you taste on summer’s tongue

Having it just won’t last

Right here, we’ve all got the answer in our heart

If we could just let that go

Lifetimes of beautiful Sunday church bell girls

The junkies upon the floor

So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we’ve ran our whole life

Forgoing the sweetest view

We could argue forever and ever, be clear

Promise that love’s still here

If forever and ever and ever we find that we’ve ran our whole life

Forgoing the sacred view

There’s a buzz like a lightbulb up to our ears

Promise that love’s still here

The promise that love’s still here

The promise that love’s still here

The promise that love’s still here
