I promised one day to put it all away
Not look back at what was once or twice
I promised I would change one day
Become a better person, try being nice
I promised my heart it was real
Nothing would sway me this time
I promised myself it was time to heal
Now all I had to do was get it done
I promised to fight off the negative force
Not give up till the battle was won
I promised to chart a new course
Set myself on a new positive direction
I promised to stay focused on my source
Keep fixed upon the ultimate connection
I promised this time I would keep my word
There would be no way I was going to fail
I promised not to allow my vision to be blurred
For once in my life I was going to prevail
I promised but my promise was absurd
It just turned out to be another wise tale
I promised not to quit and try again
I promise this time with prayer, amen.
