Promises
Lindsay Katt Lyrics

When I think about the turn my life has taken
Reflecting on the changes in my life, I realize they are due to your influence and the blessings you've given me.

I know it's because of you, that I receive so many blessings
I am grateful for the many blessings I have because of you and your presence in my life.

I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my legacy
I had a place to live, but no personal space or understanding of my family history or heritage.

When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came
When I realized you were always there to support me, I turned to you for help and you were there for me.

And you did, just what you said, for that I'll love you forever
You followed through on your promises, and I will always love and appreciate you for that.

You kept, your word to me, for that I'll love you forever
You honored your commitments to me, and I will always love and appreciate you for that.

A promise, is a promise in my eyes
To me, a promise is something sacred and must be fulfilled as it was made.

Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
You cannot make a promise only to break it later for the sake of convenience or compromise.

The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a bond that keeps two people connected and committed to each other.

A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
A promise is a solemn commitment that cannot be denied or broken without consequences.

I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
I recall a time when a little boy was in need.

Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
The boy was fortunate to have a mother who loved him deeply and sacrificed her own aspirations to take care of him.

It wasn't easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
Despite the challenges they faced, the mother understood the importance of providing her son with opportunities for a better life.

At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
She worked hard and prayed fervently for her son to have a better life, which she believed was the right thing to do.

And she did, just what she say, for that he'll love her forever
She made good on her promises to her son, and he will always love and appreciate her for that.

She kept her word to him, for that he'll love her forever
She remained true to her commitments to her son, and he will always love and appreciate her for that.

Her wedding day and she's thinking 'bout the way he won her affection
On her wedding day, she reflects on how he earned her love and devotion.

She was so cynical about love 'cause she didn't want to be heart broken again
She was wary of love because she had been hurt before and didn't want to experience that pain again.

He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she
He spoke to her honestly and earnestly, telling her that he wanted to safeguard her.

Took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real
She decided to trust him and take a risk, and she is happy she did because he proved to be authentic and keep his promises.

And he did, just what he said, for that she'll love him forever
He honored his commitments to her, and she will always love and appreciate him for that.

He kept his word to her, for that she'll love him forever
He remained true to his promises to her, and she will always love and appreciate him for that.

A man's only as good as his word
A person's integrity and trustworthiness are measured by how well they keep their promises and fulfill their commitments.
