The Year of Promises

PROMISED YOU. 

So tell me how ya doing?

I know that you waited all this time

Grown deeper in your patience

Been grinding flour fine

And suddenly, I come around 

Didn’t take long to turn my plow

Bamboo rising and I’m strutting out

Bet you thought that I forgot you now? No

I told you what I’m doing

Not a thing when you toe the line

It’s precious in the moment

When you follow what’s designed

So baby when you look at me

Don’t be shocked, I know it’s surprising

All you had to do was trust in me 

Look what good work and refining brings

See this is what I promised

I promised you

And this is what I promise

I promise, promise, promised you

(No need to look to the right

I’ll always be by your side)

Cause I promised you 

I promised, promised, promised you 

(Said that I would be your guide,

I love you yeah, I’ll never lie)

Cause I promised you

I promised, promised, promised you

Take a moment open up your journal

Turn to pages that we wrote years ago

Was it all worth the wait? Baby, wasn’t I worth the wait?

See us dancing and we’re stepping in two

I’ll be cheesing when we say oh “I do”

Some would say that it’s fate 

but we know we live by faith 

It takes faith to make this work

God I hope it works

I know you will work

I know you will work

It was all test 

See if I could rest

Trust that you know best

I know you know best

So baby when you look at me

Don’t be shocked, I know it’s surprising

All you had to do was trust in me 

Look what good work and refining brings

See this is what I promised

I promised you

And this is what I promise

I promise, promise, promised you

(No need to look to the right

I’ll always be by your side)

Cause I promised you 

I promised, promised, promised you 

(Said that I would be your guide,

I love you yeah, I’ll never lie)

Cause I promised you

I promised, promised, promised you
