| All’s not well upon these shores
|
| Some indecisive battles, some major wars
|
| I’ve tried to keep y promises
|
| What have you been doing with yours?
|
| A promise is a thing you say
|
| And a promise makes you feel okay
|
| But I look at my promise and I gotta say:
|
| I made you and I can break you
|
| Things have a way of coming about
|
| First comes knowledge, then comes doubt
|
| You’re so close to losing me
|
| And you haven’t really figured it out
|
| A promise is a sacred trust
|
| You pray, you promise, you adjust
|
| Have faith in my promise if you must
|
| I made you and I can break you |
