Promise
Slash (formerly of Guns N’ Roses) Lyrics

The first time I ever saw you
At the very beginning when I first laid eyes on you

You had that far away look in your eyes
You seemed distant and lost in thought

And heaven's eyes shined down upon you
You had an angelic light that emanated from you

And the whole room filled up with light
The atmosphere was transformed by your presence

Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you
The world will try to tear you down

Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
It will test your strength and self-worth

Now the rich just try to chain you (?)
The wealthy may try to control or suppress you

You got to keep your fire burning inside
But you must maintain your passion and drive

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
Occasionally the world will hit you hard

And it seems to love watching you fall
And it may even relish in your failures

I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen
Although it may be difficult, I must be honest with you

You got to pick yourself up and move on
You must dust yourself off and continue on your journey

Which star will I be thinking of tonight
I wonder which celestial body will occupy my thoughts

Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire
It is imperative that you promise me that you will not allow anyone to extinguish your passion

Promise me (Why don't you) Promise me (Why don't you) Promise me (Why don't you) Promise me (Why don't you)
I implore you to promise me, why haven't you made the pledge yet?
