Lyrical Analysis of...
The Promise
- I want to take a time out for a minute
- Flashback to the days, sweet, simple life –
- Admit it, I was a scarred, restless, bewildered freshman
- Penguin waddling down the halls –
- Imperfection all over my face, hip and waist.
- No one knew my name, it's a start to a new game.
- Regret was my first impression when I first came.
- But then I soon felt God moving, fanning my flame.
- He brought in people who were different like me
- From a foreign land, none white just like me.
- We connected and clicked because we shared the same difference;
- Appearance and background was of no significance.
- It was only my second night here.
- But I'll remembered that night 'til my death, crystal clear.
- Front lobby pavement, I sat first on the ground
- Two new friends on each side
- We laughed, joked and cried.
- Time went by and a Fourth one caught up, eager to share his life
- I wanted him to shut up.
- We walked to the pond and sat under a tree,
- One of the girls said, “Hey let's pray for you and me.”
- And we sat there, praying for one another
- Praying in different languages.
- Man, it was beautiful, sincere, profound and real.
- I was moved. I was touched. I was blessed.
- Yea, I sat there in silence
- Thinking God is giving me my second chance.
- And for the first time, I felt at peace and at home,
- Knowing that this is where He wants me to belong.
- The night sky was filled with stars
- And the Fourth soon started to play his guitar.
- We sang “As the Deer.”
- Soothingly and literally, a doe strutted across the road momentarily.
- Man, my mind was blown,
- Despite the unknown,
- God was there with us,
- He looked after us,
- Cuz he cares for us,
- and so we made a promise just between the four of us.
- And sadly enough, the promise never held through.
- Well, except between just two.
- And I can't thank the Lord enough for you.
- I promise to always be there to get you through.
- I love you.
