I Promise You
James Corden Lyrics

Life's tough when you're scared and small
When you're feeling scared and small, life can be hard.

Still tough when you're big and taller
Even when you grow bigger and taller, you can still find life tough.

Wrong side of McGregor's wall
Feeling like you're on the wrong side of a barrier or obstacle can be difficult.

And suddenly your heart is like a tennis ball
Emotions can be all over the place, bouncing around like a tennis ball.

Up and down and side to side
Emotions can be unpredictable, going in all different directions.

Surf so hard you'd think you'd died
Sometimes life can be so intense it feels like you might not make it through alive.

No love for you
Feeling unloved can be a difficult emotional experience.

Life's rough when you feel confused
Feeling confused about life can make it feel rough.

Still rough when you hear the news
Even when you hear updates about life, you can still find it difficult to navigate.

That each day gotta pick and choose
Every day requires choices, which can be tough to make.

The same old sides, the me's and you's
We often feel like we're on one side or the other, with our individual identities.

But don't be sad, you're welcome here
There is a sense of welcome offered, despite life's challenges.

Even certain carnivores are in the clear
Everyone is welcome, even those who might be seen as different or 'predatory.'

I promise you
There is a sense of comfort or support offered.

Wind blows and heaven knows
Life can feel unpredictable and uncertain.

That sun can turn to rain
Things can change quickly and unexpectedly.

There's nothing much to fear, though
Despite the many changes and uncertainties, there is not much to really fear at the core of things.

Doors close and we all know
Sometimes opportunities or situations come to an end, which is a normal part of life.

That love can turn to pain
Even love, which is often seen as a positive force, can sometimes turn into pain.

So let's be each other's heroes
Despite life's challenges, we can find strength in each other and support each other.

No gate, no wall could ever split us up
There is nothing that can really keep us apart when we are united.

Our love's forever
The idea of love as a lasting, enduring force.

No hate, no fear could ever keep us down
Even in the face of difficult emotions, we can rise above them and find hope or strength.

We'll stick together
The importance and power of unity and support.

Life's nice on a sunny day
Sometimes life can be pleasant or easy.

French press and a plate o' hay
A reference to some of the small pleasures in life.

But some days can't escape the fray
Other times, we can't avoid the difficulties that come our way.

Crazily careening like a bird of prey
Life can feel chaotic and out of control, like prey being hunted by a bird.

This old house is never locked
A metaphor for the idea that support and comfort are always available.

Even Tiggy Winkers needn't need to knock
A playful way of emphasizing that everyone is welcome, no matter who they are.

Wind blows and a rabbit knows
Even animals can sense the unpredictability of life.
