Promises Lyrics - Entrance

Time is hard to understand 

And even harder to explain 

Trying to keep up with the second hand 

Is enough to drive anyone insane 

I promised myself by the light of the moon 

I'm gonna change my life 

I'm gonna change my tune 

I'm gonna fill my heart with a love so strong 

I'm gonna rise up singing a brand new song 

If we only kept half of our promises 

This world would be a much better place to live 

First we have to accept that it is what it is 

Stop trying to forget, we only get what we give 

Well maybe you're tired, just like me 

Of trying so hard to be free 

If we could rise above our fear of change, we'd see 

That, through the eyes of love, its all the same 

Time is a cruel yet forgiving friend 

Who slaps your face and then holds your hand 

Leaves you starting from scratch all over again 

In the ruins of your best laid plan 

Standing on a precipice of a metamorphosis 

Spread your wings now butterfly 

Goodbye now, empty chrysalis 

If we only kept half of our promises 

We might even earn the right to exist 

Instead of regret, we might learn to forgive 

Instead of survive, we might learn how to live.
