Promise
Skylar Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can take a swing at my ego
You can make a run for my crown
Even with an army of people
You ain't gonna take us down
You can aim your evil right at us
You can drop your bombs on the ground
Even if your stare makes me nervous
You ain't gonna take us down
There'll be no need for crying
If darkness fills the skies
We'll go on forever
Like the phoenix, we
Will rise up from the ashes
This world is ours tonight
We'll go on forever
Like the phoenix, we
Will rise
We will rise
You can take a swing at my ego
You can make a run for my crown
Even with an army of people
You ain't gonna take us down
You can aim your evil right at us
You can drop your bombs on the ground
Even if your stare makes me nervous
You ain't gonna take us down
There'll be no need for crying
If darkness fills the skies
We'll go on forever
Like the phoenix, we
Will rise up from the ashes
This world is ours tonight
We'll go on forever
Like the phoenix, we




Will rise
We will rise
