Promise the World - Son Volt

Don’t get down when the cavalry doesn’t arrive

It’s only in Hollywood they didn’t get it right

We’ll be damaged, there will be hell to pay

Light after darkness, that is the way

The air is colder, closer to the ground

Find your footing, leave your doubts

We’ll be damaged, there will be hell to pay

Light after darkness, that is the way

Promise the world to each other today

In the end it matters, it’s worth the fight

We’ll be damaged, there will be hell to pay

Light after darkness, that is the way

We all move mountains that stand in the way

Just part of being here, making things right

We’ll be damaged, there will be hell to pay

Light after darkness, that is the way
