The Promise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you work you work
Even 'til the morning light
In the comfort of the night
When you work you work
And when you try, you try
Even when the road is long
Find your courage in a song
When you try, you try
The promise is still waiting for you there
Past the endless hours of heartache that you share
Past the endless souls who could not reach
And those who would not dare...
Oh, the promise is still waiting for you there
Now when you love, you love
Even if it makes you cry
Even if your heart is shy
'Cause when you love, you love
And when you run, you run
Even though it's hard to do
When your heart is calling you
Then you run, you run
The promise is still waiting for you there
Past the endless hours of heartache that you share
Past the endless souls who could reach
And those who would not dare
Oh, the promise is still waiting for you there
