If I had nothing to my name
But photographs of you
Rescued from the flame
That is all I would ever need
As long as I can read
What's written on your face
The strength that shines behind your eyes
The hope and light that will never die
One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive, persevere and thrive
As you've always done
And you said, the poison in the kiss
Is the lie upon the lips
Truer words were never said
When I feel like lies are all I hear
I pull my memories near
The one thing they can't take
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive, persevere and thrive
As we've always done
The books still open on the table
The bells still ringing in me yeah
The dreams still clinging to the pillow
The song still singing in a prayer
And my soul is stretching through the roots
To memories of you
Back through time and space
To carry on the faces and the names
And photographs of you
Rescued from the flames
One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive, persevere and thrive
And dare to rise once more
A promise to survive, persevere and thrive
Fill the world with life
As you've always done
