Promises
Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't understand the meaning of it all
And the freedom we once had for now is gone
I will abide by every rule that I will follow
If you promise don't betray me today
Take me by the hand I'll know
Show me where the path is I will follow
Take me by the hand I'll know
I will never shed this feeling that I have
Take me by the hand I'll know
Show me where the path is I will follow
Take me by the hand I'll know
I will never shed this feeling that I have
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand, put it up... put it up...
Hold my hand
Hold my hand, put it up... put it up...
Hold my hand, Hold my hand
I Will promise you a saviour for tomorrow
If you keep holding on strong another day
And I will fight for what is right no I won't falter
If you promise don't betray me today
Take me by the hand I'll know
Show me where the path is I will follow
Take me by the hand I'll know
I will never shed this feeling that I have
Take me by the hand I'll know
Show me where the path is I will follow
Take me by the hand I'll know
I will never shed this feeling that I have
Hold my hand
Take me by the hand I'll know
Hold my hand




Hold my hand
I will never shed this feeling that I have

Line by Line Meaning

I don't understand the meaning of it all
I am struggling to comprehend the purpose of everything


And the freedom we once had for now is gone
Our liberty has disappeared for the time being


I will abide by every rule that I will follow
I am willing to comply with all regulations that I encounter


If you promise don't betray me today
As long as you give me your word not to deceive me now


Take me by the hand I'll know
If you guide me physically, I will understand where to go


Show me where the path is I will follow
Demonstrate the location of the route, I will adhere to it


I will never shed this feeling that I have
This sensation of mine will persist indefinitely


Hold my hand
Take a grasp of my hand


I Will promise you a saviour for tomorrow
I guarantee you protection for the following day


If you keep holding on strong another day
So long as you continue to keep your grip on your resolve for one day more


And I will fight for what is right no I won't falter
I will not hesitate to defend what is just


Take me by the hand I'll know
If you guide me physically, I will understand where to go


Hold my hand
Take a grasp of my hand


I will never shed this feeling that I have
This sensation of mine will persist indefinitely
