Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day becomes a legacy
Every sunset leads to morning
With the promise of opportunity.
We can reach for the stars we find along the way
Dreaming as we learn to love everyday
Promise you will take my hand
We'll go on growing closer through the years
Moving on through the good times and the tears
Ever on another thousand circles around the sun
If two can be as one.
We'll go on
There is music if you listen
In the rhythm of each breath we take
Destinations undescovered
Revolutions from every choice we make
And I know there are diamonds dancing in the sky
All we have to do is open our eyes
Promise we'll walk side by side
As a new day dawns we'll go on.
We'll go on growing closer through the years
Moving on through the good times and the tears
Ever on another thousand circles around the sun
A new life has begun
The two of us as one
We'll go on.
Moving on through the good times and the tears
Ever on another thousand circles around the sun
A new life has begun
When two of us are one.
And we live to keep the promise
We'll go on
Ever on
We'll go on.
The song Promise by Disney is a powerful ballad about the beauty and potential of new beginnings. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of the cyclical nature of life and how every ending leads to a new beginning. The verse "Every evening brings an ending, every day becomes a legacy, every sunset leads to morning, with the promise of opportunity" encapsulates the central theme of the song - that life is full of promise and that every day is an opportunity to learn and grow.
The chorus "We can reach for the stars we find along the way, dreaming as we learn to love everyday. Promise you will take my hand, as tomorrow comes, we'll go on" is a call to action, urging listeners to embrace the unknown and take risks in pursuit of their dreams.
As the song continues, it takes on a more romantic tone, with the lines "We'll go on growing closer through the years, moving on through the good times and the tears, ever on another thousand circles around the sun, if two can be as one" speaking to the power of love and the importance of having someone to share life's ups and downs with.

I remembered hearing the Last “Promise” at the last day of Illuminations and I Legit broke down crying. I told my friends that I’ve seen this show many, many, times. And it was Hard Seeing it Leave after 20 Years and how I was very proud that they Came out and saw it their first and Last time.
All I can Say is
RIP to a Legendary show

destinations and discover, revelations, from every choice we make,
and I know, there are diamonds dancing in the sky
all we have to do is open our eyes,

This was mine and my bf's song, he then proposed to me just before Illuminations started. I said yes and this became our wedding song. His wedding ring is even engraved with "we'll go on". :) <3
